Spring Break Trips: Carter's 8 Trip

When I was young, my Grandma and Grandpa Olsen took all of us grandkids on a trip when you were 8.  You and a cousin would get to go on a short vacation with Grandma and Grandpa.  My cousin Merilee and I went to Yellowstone.  I still remember things about that trip--seeing Old Faithful (and getting attacked by gnats), driving in the car with them and seeing all the beautiful scenery, a beaded necklace I bought at the gift shop.  

I loved that my parents have continued the tradition.  Carter went with his cousin Abigail and my parents to Huntsville, AL.  Huntsville has a neat space museum, but the kids love the hotel (and swimming pool) the most.  The first thing Carter said to me when he returned from his trip was that they got to go swimming everyday and twice one day.  We sent him with a camera and here are the best of the pictures he took....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the souvenir he bought on the trip--he LOVES it (and took roughly 30 pictures of it)!
