Spring Break

The kids only got three days off for Spring Break this year.  We didn't go anywhere big.  But the kids had lots of fun anyway.

In the morning I was downstairs and Jason came down to tell me Em was bathing Liam because he got oatmeal in his hair.  No big deal I said fine I'd be up in a minute.  A little bit later both of them are calling me from upstairs.  They had put their suits on and hopped in the tub with Liam to play.  Liam was having a blast laughing at Jason dumping water on his head and splashing so much my whole bathroom was covered in water! 

That afternoon we went to a playgroup for families with transracial adopted children that met in Lehi.  It was SNOWING on our drive up and by that night we had quite a bit of snow.  I guess I was too busy visiting with all the women there so I didn't get any pictures, but the big kids played guitar hero and the little ones made a huge mess with all the fun toys at Chandra's house.  It was lots of fun. 

Thursday we were supposed to go to the aquarium, but those plans ended up being canceled because of the snow so we decided to head to BYU for some bowling.  Everything I had seen said they opened at 10, but when we got there near 11 we found a sign that said they didn't open until noon because of reading days.  So, we headed to the bookstore to kill an hour.  By the time we got bowling everyone was hungry and the little ones were getting a bit tired, but they had lots of fun anyway.  We went with friends so everyone had a lot of fun. 

Here's Jason in action.

Once we finished bowling we headed over to the creamery on 9th for some lunch.  Our family loves to eat there and their food is good and freshly made plus it's affordable.  Once we were done there the kids and the moms were tired and ready for a rest so we headed home for some quiet time.

Friday we were able to have a relaxing morning and in the afternoon we played with our cousins that for some reason we don't see enough of even though we live in the same city.  They have a beautiful house and a nice playground in their backyard that Liam was dying to use. 

 

 

  He loved the slide even though it dumped him on his bottom because he went down it so fast. 

Friday was also Daddy's birthday so we had a nice dinner and presents and we made him birthday fruit salad because he didn't want cake or other sweets, but we just wanted him to have something special.  He liked it (or pretended to)

So, that was our exciting spring break.  We wish we could have done more and seen more friends that we don't get to often enough, but we'll have to work that out in the summer.
