For spring break this year we went to California to celebrate my niece's baptism. We arrived a day early and all went rock climbing together while my sister finished some last minute preparations for K's big day. The boys did awesome. Carter was very hesitant at first but after some encouraging and him seeing how much fun everyone was having he finally gave it a try.

Braden was even brave enough to try some free climbing.
This picture doesn't show it, but he is really high up!

The following day was K's special day. She was so pretty wearing a baptism dress that all of her girl cousins on the Roberts' side has worn to be baptized in. She was also glowing the whole day and her smile never left her.
That evening all the girls attended the General Women's meeting together. We ate dinner together before the meeting and then enjoyed some ice-cream afterwards.
On Sunday we said goodbye to all the dad's and then on Monday morning we left to spend a week in Big Bear. We had so much fun swimming, hiking, riding down the alpine slide, and hanging out at the condo. It was so fun to be together, especially to watch the kids play together. I love that they love each other so much.

After the slide we headed to the Village to let the kids pick out a souvenir.
More fun at the Condo
 |
| We played Bingo a couple of nights and won most of the games! |

I'm so glad we had this time to share together. It was a great vacation!
