Easter Weekend

Seeing as this blog is titled "Karhan Adventures"... this post is perfectly fitting! The kids and I went on quite the adventure for Easter weekend. My parents have rented a house in Phoenix for a couple of months to try out desert living. There had been many conversations about everyone trying to visit but it just seemed that everyone would end up there at different times and with our crazy schedule I didn't think we were going to get there at all.. well... Katie and Ryan planned to go down for Spring Break, then Court and the twins decided to go down for Easter weekend. When Kendra found out, she decided to fly down for the weekend too. And, me being the crazy one, just couldn't handle all of them being together and us being stuck in San Antonio. SO.... My wonderful husband took my truck in to get the a-ok for a 1000 mile drive and I packed up our stuff and off we went the next morning! 4am the next morning....

The kids were all snuggled in the back seat with DVD's and snacks and toys. It took us about 16 hours to drive 1000 miles and the kids did great considering how long they were stuck. We got to Nana and Papa's around 8 pm...

The next morning the kids were up bright and early so they snuggled in with their cousins to watch a little movie while everyone else tried to sleep.

Breakfast at the bar....

And even though the weather wasn't that great the first day, we were out by the pool. The weather was crazy for the weekend and rained on Saturday.. cancelling two easter egg hunts. But it warmed up enough for Easter morning and by Monday it was warm again :)

Walking home from the park. Emma loved hanging out with Caroline, and Caroline loved trying to get to take care of Emma..

Every afternoon around 4 is poolside Happy Hour... snacks and a drink.. perfect in the Arizona Sun!

We had a wonderful time visiting Nana and Papa. Their house was perfect and the kids had a great time. We even got to have Easter Dinner with my Aunt Barbara and Uncle David. There is nothing like getting to spend time with family, especially now that we are moving farther East across the country. I wish I could say that the drive home was just as easy, but we made it safely and it was worth every extra minute that it took (18 hours in all). We'll keep our fingers crossed that Nana and Papa are there again next spring and we can all go out for another big family visit!
