Spring Break

We were lucky enough to take a road trip to California and meet up with some of Jordan's siblings and their families. 

Our first stop on the trip was Las Vegas. Drake has loved the Vegas Strip since he was tiny and is always asking to go:

Resting our feet by the "Water Wall" at the Aria Hotel
This was our view from the water wall, we felt like we were in a Bond film!
Our favorite spot on the strip is the Bellagio Gardens and Fountains. It was decorated for spring with lady bugs , butterflies and swans made out of flowers.




The next day we made the beautiful drive into San Luis Obispo, CA:

Drake's first time seeing the ocean -- Avila Beach





Avila Beach had a little farmer's market complete with amazing fresh fruit and a free petting zoo for the kids.





Emmalyn wasn't sure what to think of the beach other than the sand was apparently delicious  
Drake on the other hand was on cloud-nine and never wanted to leave.



One of the nights we got to go to San Luis Obispo's Street Fair. 
The entire street had huge beautiful trees hanging over it.



We stopped by "Bubble Gum Alley" ...which is just what it sounds like.

We all left our mark.

Even though none of us ever wanted to leave we had to say our goodbyes and hit the road again.

Our last stop was Springville, UT to see Callie's Grandparents and Aunt and Uncle:

Grandpa Ernie set up an Easter Egg Dying Table for Drake...
...but it was really for the "Adults"



Even though we were driving all over the West, the Easter Bunny still tracked us down at Grandma's house.

 
Emmie had a great time chasing the cats all over the house. (Video Coming Soon)
