Our typical roadtrip is up to Sacramento and back for a quick weekend. About once a year we drive to Oregon to visit my family, the other times we visit we fly. The kids have become accustomed to flying to Oregon and Ryder asked about halfway through the drive if we could go to the airport and drive. Not this time. We did split the drive up and we stayed at a hotel in Yreka. The kids were so excited, I felt bad for anyone next to us, we arrived to the hotel at 1:30 a.m.
Halfway there.
Building and creating forts. I didn't get a picture of the finished product. They were pretty impressive. The boys fort even had a chimney.
Easter Eggs. Boys outside, Sarah inside.
Future NBA stars. We took the kids to see the Nike Hoop Summit where the best USA high school seniors played against the best (under 19 yr. olds) from around the world. It was a close game and the USA lost in the last 2 minutes.
Geoff Petrie was there and the kids went and said hi. Ryan gave him some advice for the KINGS.
Oops, you missed. Nice form.
Easter morning was almost as exciting as Christmas. The boys did sleep in so we started the day quietly.
Easter dinner with cousins.
Growing up with 5 brothers, the holidays were always interesting. The spiritual part lasted a few minutes and then they would get rowdy. Things have changed a little, but not much. Uncle Spencer started taping up one of the twins, then Uncle Jason thought it would be funny to make them Siamese twins. Let the fun begin.
The boys decided after building forts one day that they wanted to make swords. Grandpa was happy to grant that wish. Notice who has the biggest one. I should have brought Grandpa's sword home to keep my kids in line.
It's kind of mean to eat in front of the animals.
We drove back to California and had a few days left of Spring Break. We went to the Jelly Belly Factory and to see Monsters vs. Aliens in 3D. Fun times.

Cute pictures Alison. It is never boring at the Carrick house! Hope to see you one of these days!
Looks like a fun trip! Cute pictures! Funny that you stayed in Yreka...I've spent many holidays there, because that's where my stepmom was from, and all of her family still lives there.
