I'm going to back up a bit and cover Valentine's Day. One thing my kids don't like about graduating to middle school is no more Valentine's day parties. So this was Dallin's first year of no party, which he thought was pretty stinky. Brennan and Levi made their own cards this year. They were very simple, and I thought they turned out super cute.
Some teachers didn't do anything for Valentine's Day; we were very grateful ours did! They had fun!
Chloe's preschool had a field trip to the children's museum, followed by a little party.
Dave took off work the Friday before Valentine's Day (he had his first wedding to perform as bishop), so we left right after the wedding and drove to Fresno. We found a fun little hotel called Garden Inn and Suites, and the whole property was filled with citrus trees!
There were tons of different kinds, and they were all covered with fruit. The air smelled so sweet!
The free breakfast had big platters of cut up fruit from their trees. It was so yummy! After breakfast we went to the temple. We usually go there and back in one evening, and it was really nice to break it up.
The kids did another fabulous job managing things while we were gone. They cleaned the whole house (while playing a game they made up called cutthroat cleaning, like the show Cutthroat Kitchen, funny kids!) and made us a cake! The homemade fudge frosting was especially tasty.
That Sunday the front of our house got heart-attacked! We felt so loved!
