Spring Break 2013

So much for handing over the blog to Mom...I guess that little comment about her having too much time on her hands didn't go over too well.

Mom and Dad had a little spring break of their own and went to MX without us.....

so we had a 'staycation' during my spring break.  What is a 'staycation,'  you ask?  Mom's way of making it sound cool that we had to stay home during spring break b/c her and dad went on vacation without us the week before ;)

We did have fun, though, and kept Mom busy.  I heard her tell Dad that she definitely wanted to go on vacation next spring break b/c it was exhausting trying to keep us busy (mission accomplished).  I guess she felt bad that she didnt take us on a trip so we got to do lots of fun stuff here!

Spring Break started off with a bang.  We had a half-day of school on Friday.  I had a friend come home with me from school for a playdate until we had to leave for a birthday party. 

Saturday was baseball and a cookout at Davis' and Sunday was Easter.  Mom made us dress up for church and we weren't happy about it but we played along....

Monday, we went to the Reese and Cole's river house for the day.  It was really warm outside so we stayed on the beach all day and played.  We didn't get a single picture, though, because we were too busy keeping up with Emily who would not stay out of the water.  I can already tell that she is going to love the beach this summer!

 

Tuesday, we went to Busch Gardens bright and early.  Mom braved it with the three of us until lunchtime when Reese and Cole met us there.  I am finally able to ride Appollo's Chariot and it was SO awesome!!!

 

It was Reese and Cole's first trip to BG so we had to show them the ropes (ie. where to get the best slurpees)

 

Ryan could ride more ride this year and Emily loved the rides she rode so it was a great day! 

 

The rest of the week, we stuck around town.  We went swimming, ate lunch out, had a couple of playdates, hit up the science museum, and spent part of the weekend doing lots of yard work.

 

 

 

So, Spring Break was a success!  We had a lot of fun and made mom so tired that she wants to take us on vacation next time.  Now, it's really warm and we have gotten to spend tons of time outside.  We are all getting excited about summer...only 9 more weeks left of first grade!!
