Spring Has Sprung!!

This year for spring break Nate and I wanted to do something fun, go somewhere that is actually going to be warm so that's exactly what we did!! My grandparents go and snowbird for the winter down in Yuma AZ which is right on the border of Mexico.

The drive there was long and straight, but we just kept watching the the temperature raise so that made it better! We stayed with my grandparents a few days and had a lot of fun! They took us around the lettuce fields, the date farm, the nut factory and just a bunch of different things. The last day we went into Mexico.... Before the trip I tried to talk Nate into getting a passport, but he refused to pay the money! We tried to take his birth certificate and everything to see if they would let him in...well really the problem would be getting him out. So we went to US customs before and tried to talk to them and they were RUDE! We just played it safe and he went back to my grandparents while me and my grandparents went into Mexico. It was so much fun, I hated not having Nate in there cause he would have loved it!!!!! He would have talked about it for years... But now he says next time for sure he is getting his passport. I got some great deals down there below the border and got Nate and I some great little souvenirs. The weather was great, in the 80's. never dropped below 60. The day we went into Mexico it was windy and about 65 degrees, it was so funny because all the little Mexican's had their full winter coat on with sweaters under just freezing.... little do they know how cold UTAH is!Grandpa insisted we got our shoes Shined!

Freshly picked grapefruit from the backyard every morning for breakfast!

So after Yuma we headed up toward Phoenix. Nate has always wanted to go to spring training even if the Braves don't come to Arizona he has always wanted to go watch Texas. We stayed in Phoenix for 2 days and went to the Texas Rangers game and they played the White Sox, We sat on the front row and just soaked up the sun! We want to make this a tradition every year! It's so much cheaper than during the season and your so much closer to the players, they come over a lot more and talk and well its warm!! :) Then we decided to go to the Phoenix Suns game. Nate has never been to an official basketball game so we finally did clear down in Phoenix. They played the Mavericks which made it even better. We sat 4 rows from the top, but we had a lot of fun! Nate caught a t-shirt and it was an intense game ! We had such a great spring break!!

We have LOVED the weather warming up and trying to do as much as we can!!! School is going great for both of us, We will be moving back down to Kanab for the summer and then back to Richfield for next year. We really like Richfield!! :) So I will post some pics of what we have been up to!!! School Project!!! PILL BOTTLE!Our Mexican Souvenirs Our miniature horse PIPPIN!
