Just a great week

Spring Break was lots of things so here is a list

1. Nik's return from Italy. We had so much fun listening to all of his mission stories and about Italy. What a great missionary for all of us to learn from.
2. CREPES that were so delicioso. (We learned that all Italiano words end in a vowel unless they are stolen from another language.) We ventured down to Provo twice for crepes and were sad that there wasn't time for a third.
3. No sleep. Kids up until after midnight and other kids up with the sun. The Porter's are just too much fun.
4. 24 people trying to get ready for church in 3 bathrooms and 24 people sharing germs. There was vomit, coughing, headaches, earaches, and one ultra black, black eye.
5. Action and entertainment all of the time. When it was over, my 5 had a hard time being at home without someone to entertain them. (I am not the entertainment committee.) There was bowling, hiking, a stop at D.I. (if you haven't been to the D.I. on State Street, you are missing out), t-shirt making thanks to Hannah, swinging in the hammock, Pokemon tetris (that's a little embarrassing), Wii fit, a visit with Helen and her cutest baby, a stop at "the house with no rules and 5 boys", bike rides on the tandem, a picnic in the canyon, an obstacle course competition, visits to BYU and the bookstore, many viewings of Little Rascals, eating and more eating, and just enjoying family.

It was a great week and we loved every minute of it. It is always sad to leave and we are counting down the days till we get to do it all again.
THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT WEEK.

p.s. this picture of Sam says it all
