Like A Herd Of Wild Turtles

"We're off, like a herd of wild turtles!" was my family's announcement of departure once we were all loaded in the car and headed down the driveway. I was a teenager before I realized what it actually meant ("we're FINALLY, with less than creditable dispatch, leaving!"), and it wasn't until I had kids of my own that I truly understood it! Since this blog is about the family and the phrase generally typifies the pace around here, it seemed a fitting title. :-)

Easter

We just had a low-key, stay-at-home Easter, the big events were the chocolate bunny in the basket in the morning and the egg hunts in afternoon. It was a lovely day - it's kind of nice when Easter is actually in April!

Sergeant Bucketheads, ready for the egg hunt!

Even Nakita is egg-hunting!

Moab and the Grand Canyon

Yes, it's been waaay too long since I updated the blog. Sorry! I will try to post pictures more often, and hopefully no one is disappointed in a title, a summarizing sentence, and then pictures, because that's quick and efficient - which means more pictures more often. Hopefully, heheh.

SO, the kids had spring break this last week, and we took our camper down to Moab and then all the way down to the Grand Canyon and we had a great time, despite some still rather chilly spring weather. :-)

The Moab area & Dead Horse Point State Park

And onto the Grand Canyon! (Oh, and by the way, we got a dog, that's our coonhound-greyhound mix, Nakita. Awesome dog coat, right?)
