UEA- off to grandmother's house we go

So with the kids out of school for a few days, we decided to head to Mesquite to visit grandma and grandpa. We did all the usual fun things in Mesquite: caught lizards, took a ride on the four-wheeler, went swimming, went to the crab leg buffet (Davis loves the crab legs- it makes us laugh to watch him), and even took a side trip to Vegas to see the aquarium. I kept thinking about how the kids would grow up with memories of going there- grandma and grandpa's house is a destination.

Mesquite wrap-up

We had fun each morning (Davis would wake up feeling good) in Mesquite for Spring Break- then in the afternoon Davis's fever would return and we spent our time watching movies. I think I watched more movies in one week than the previous 6 months. We went home early on Friday to get Davis into the doctor. It was strep. Yipee that an antibiotic can get him feeling better- too bad I didn't take him in earlier in the week. The rest of us have managed to steer clear. The sunshine in these pictures looks appealing especially since it has been snowing (what?) off and on while I have been blogging.
Here are a few shots of the highlights.

Thankfully she didn't break anything- even though he has a soft spot for Elle, I wouldn't want to have to tell him. He has been enjoying the finished product of years of restoration to get his convertable just right.
