Spring Break

Almost every spring break we head to Santa Barbara for a week of fun in the sun. This spring break didn't disappoint. There was the constant threat of rain, and it was fairly overcast on some days, but we didn't let that dampen our spirits! It was the longest car ride ever though! On the way to Santa Barbara, our normally 14 hour drive took us 18 because of high winds and traffic galore. On the way home it took us 19 hours dues to rain, then snow and chaining up and traffic. We were so happy to be out of the car by the end of our trip.

 Our lovely time together in the car. The kids were soooooo good. We are soooooo lucky! Don't worry, this is when we were stopped for 45 min. on the top of Donner Pass. Grayson does not like to sit still in the car!

 We went to Hendry's beach one day. We didn't intend to get super wet but we thought we would just walk on the beach and get our toes wet. At one point we hear a scream from Lilly and when we looked back she was on her hands and knees in the sand with the waves washing over her! She quickly got over it and they had a fantastic time running in and out of the waves.

 Nothing like a good cupcake! I was so excited to visit because I had watched them on the Cupcake Wars. The cupcakes didn't disappoint.

 A Walk on the breakwater is always a must.

 We always go to the zoo. The kids always love it and this was Grayson's first trip to the Santa Barbara Zoo!

Molly was so brave and let Granddaddy check her teeth for the first time. She did awesome!
