Spring Break?


This is a picture of our backyard during Spring Break. Not exactly inviting. In high school, Spring Break usually meant piling into Daddy Pope's Suburban and setting off for adventure in Southern Utah. One year was particularly memorable as it was snowing, but the trek continued on, improvising as we went. We found a random spot to camp, cleared the snow to make space for a tent and huddled inside to make alternative plans.
And so I learned a valuable lesson: if Spring Break is snowy, just improvise! And that is what we had to do this year, but we had great fun. An indoor picnic and games inside the church gym, and a trip to the movies satisfied our kids' appetite for a Spring Break adventure.
