This Week

The kids' had Spring Break for a couple of days this week.  My mother-in-law was still in town, so we took a little excursion to Logan (her hometown).  We spent the day driving around looking at her ancestors old houses, visiting a cemetary, playing at parks, and eating Aggie Ice Cream.  Dustin and I lived in Logan for three years, and yet, for some reason we didn't explore the area very much.  I think he was so busy with his graduate program, and we were too poor to be able to pay for a lot of gasoline.  So, Gramma Lana and I explored and I saw parts of Cache Valley that I had never seen before.  The kids were very cooperative with lots of driving, and we had a fun day!

Dustin's mom is a lot of fun.  She loves to tell stories and the kids are always very attentive.  When she's here it is like Christmas, every day.  The kids get spoiled rotten.

But, alas, we had to get back to real life and school again.  Grandma left, and we got back in to our routine.  Avery had her big project of the year: the 5th grade Wax Museum.  She was Louisa May Alcott.  In full costume, she had to memorize a monologue of Louisa May Alcott and recite it when people pushed her button.  Our genius neighbor rigged up Christmas lights with a light switch for her button.  She did a great job and I think she's really glad that it is over!

Grant was loving this little wax museum.  He wandered around pushing the kid's buttons and listening very intently to their presentations.  Rosa Parks there (on the end) had to give him her spiel about 10 times.  He liked her's the best, I guess.
Speaking of Grant,

There went half of our bottle of shampoo (I think this was actually Ryan's doing).  Oh well.  Look how nice they clean up!

This picture may end up being a black mail photo for Ryan someday...
