Spring Break 2021: Florida (day 1)


We had been looking forward to spring break for months ever since Jody found round trip tickets for 6 to Orlando for $1200 bucks.  

We arrived at the new SLC airport early enough to relax since the last time we flew as a family (return trip from Florida in 2019), Jaxson and I almost missed the flight due to the kids leaving Dave's computer in the rental. As our luck would have it, Taylor's birth date did not match her ticket.  After standing in 2 longs lines, we finally made it through security, waited for Alyssa at Starbucks, and when we arrived at the gate asking if we had time for the bathroom, the worker said she was locking the door in 2 minutes.  STRESS!

The flight to Orlando was really nice. We slept and watched movies.  At the airport, we took an Uber to Connie and Ken's house and then learned that our rental had been given away because we were late getting there to pick it up.  Yikes!  So we rolled the dice on renting a car the next day (due to Covid, the fleets are lower so there were no 6 passenger vehicles to rent!).

We all squished into Connie and Ken's van and went to Burger Fi where we ate the most delicious hamburgers, fries, and onion rings.  Then we went to Disney Springs for some Ghiradelli ice cream and entertainment.  Oh, Florida!  We missed your warmth, sunshines, and energy!  So excited for our trip!

Ball Girls for Alyssa's Team at the BYU Soccer Game

It was a beautiful, warm spring day as we made our way to BYU for the Women's game against UVU. Alyssa's team got to be the ball girls for the game and be on the field.  I did too....and got more balls kicked to me during the 1st half than the ball girls!

After the game, we got to meet Cameron Tucker, who was at LPHS when I taught there. She is going pro after the fall. It was such a great day and I felt myself being a little dreamy about the opportunities Alyssa may have in the future.  Gooooo Cougars!

A Baby Shower for Jessica!

Our sweet niece, Jessica, was showered with love for the upcoming birth of her baby boy.  We drove up to Uintah for a lovely afternoon with our family.  Wishing Jessica all of the luck in the world!
