Easter weekend


We had a great weekend! Saturday morning we left for Glenrock to stay with my brother Hyrum, his wife Kristi and their 3 kids. It was relaxing and nice to get away for a weekend. Kristi and I had fun hiding all the eggs for the kids and they all had fun finding them all. Hyrum was addicted to some word games on the computer and my kids had fun watching him. haha! Hyrum and Kristi's church starts at 9am and amazingly with all 8 children and 4 adults we made it to church 20 minutes early. It was unbelievable. hahaha! A first and probably a last for a while. On the way to Casper we saw a herd of horses going the opposite direction from us and slowed down to rubber neck and check it out. It was way cool. Then when we came home today we saw the same herd just about to Shoshoni. After our little break we went back to the edge of town and stopped at the rest area and watched the herd go by. I don't know how many for sure, but 200+ easily wild horses when right by us. There's a video down below of them. So all in all we had a wonderful Easter vacation and are glad to have an extra day off tomorrow to get things unpacked and back to normal before school on Wednesday. Thanks for a great weekend Hyrum and Kristi! I definitely say REMATCH in phase 10....lol.w



all of the kids except for Owen...he and his big brother were matching!!





Marley is their new dog and quite a fan of dad. Whenever dad came around he'd light up and follow him or curl up next to him. Pretty cute.



The wild horses going through Shoshoni this afternoon. (my guess is they were on the way to Riverton to the auction the state holds...don't quote me.)


And then we ran out of gas 3 miles from home!!! My dad and I did not even think about it the whole way home or even look at the guage. hahaha! The kids were that distracting!!! haha...no not really...maybe a little, but I can't blame them entirely. :) We called up our neighbors, Jean & Roy, to rescue us with their lawn mower can so we could at least make it to Maverik. It was pretty funny. My dad and I got a good chuckle.
