Spring Break

We headed down to CA for Spring Break. Sean had two days of work meeting in San Diego, so he drove down with us on Saturday and then went to his meetings on Monday and Tuesday and flew home Tuesday evening. We stayed with the Sorensen family. We had a great time: Sun - Church. Charity and Chad and family got there that evening. Mon - Took Sean to San Diego. Met Aunt Lindsay and her friend at the Mormon Battalion Museum (which was awesome: videos, panning for gold, dressing up, old fashioned photo, etc), drove by the Flower Fields in Carlsbad and visited Great Grandpa Sorensen, had smoothies at Jamba Juice. Tues - Went to the beach. We have some serious beach-lovers in this family! Played in the water and sand. Roasted hotdogs and marshmallows (for smores) around the bonfire. Wed - Took Grandma Sorensen to lunch for her birthday. Hung out with Charity and Chad and kids before they left. Went to Preston's baseball game that night. Thurs - Met Bonnie (a friend from high school) and her kids at the park. Played for a while. Grandma took the kids to throw pennies in a fountain and then to McDonalds. Fri - Drove home. Made it in under 12 hours (with just me and the kiddos) - not too shabby.

Soccer

Spring soccer is here again. Ben's coach is Stephanie. I am the assistant coach. I have only ever played soccer for fun or on Intramural teams in college, but I thought I could help well enough for 7 year olds. A friend from school is on his team. They are still trying to figure out their rhythm, but Ben is enjoying it and doing well.
