The Artists
The boys grades at school participated in a living museum. They were to choose artists, research them, write a little summery speech about the artists work and life, then dress and act out their particular artists and what they had written when the public (us parents and the other younger grade students) came to them and touched their elbows. It was neat. Elijah chose MC Escher. Mo was Vincent Van Mough. Haha! Yes I'm laughing at my own little joke!
G-20
So this was a big meeting involving 20 countries of the world hosted by our little mexican tourist town. There was a big push for a lot of workers to get the 4 lane highway looking landscaped & nice and to build a convention center.
For us it meant seeing (& hearing) lots of planes, helicopters, buses, and official looking people and LOTS of police officers and military personnel.
It meant waiting in our car at check points while the police eyed every vehicle carefully and each car was gamma-scanned.
It meant knowing the president of the USA was staying in the development next over from ours, and seeing our crazy local expat friends Facebook photo posts of themselves waving flags and hands wildly to the presidential motorcade as it passed by in front of our houses.
It meant that we got to have an extra long 5 (yeah!) day weekend because they didn't want us little people out on the roads.
All in all-- it was just GREAT to have some days off school! : )

We went to see the Arch
Because Brett had the day off... and because it's there, it's nice and we could. : )
Children's day- without a mother
Thank goodness for Super dad who in my absence got off work as quick as he could and took the kids out to celebrate!

Last week of Spring Break
We did the water park and stayed at daddy's hotel. When the boys got back from Utah we picked them up at the airport and drove straight to the beach to be at our ward beach activity. Niceness

Coming to America
Back in April- the boys got to spend their 2nd week of spring break with Auntie Ann in SLC. Thanks again Annie for being a super sweet awesome Aunt! 
Wow!
I've been way behind on the blogging. In part because blogging from my phone the way I used to wasn't working anymore. I didn't know that there is a blogger app.
So I'm gonna back blog by just doing post with the pics from my phone. Shouldn't be too hard to get some good ones, out of the 1000 I have on here- right?
