When Grandma Caine flew in for an Easter visit, we suggested taking advantage of "free National Parks week" and possibly go to Zions or even the Grand Canyon. "If we're going to drive 8 hours...we might as well go somewhere awesome, like Disneyland!", she replied. So, thanks to a very spontaneous Grandma, we found ourselves driving to CA for a three day visit. (Besides, the perfect circumstances are never going to be found and sometimes you just have to jump at the opportunities!) Elina, Aaron & Emmett handled the trip amazingly well. I'm grateful for the fabulous adventure and fun memories made. We even almost reached home before they decided to sing the Lion King's opening song at the top of their lungs...over and over again!! Great times!We couldn't just drop traditional Easter though. The week before Easter, we took each day and read what the Savior taught/did on the coinciding day. It was nice to focus an entire week on the true meaning of Easter. Of course, we celebrated w/ the fun traditions as well. Decorating bunny cookies & dying boiled eggs landed in our family festivities :)
