Spring Break

Joshua is in the middle of his 3 weeks off and the girls are out of preschool for this week. So we had some fun things planned to get them out of the house. On Monday Dan was home too, so we all went to The CowCafe for lunch. The kids had a great time. Dan was irritated because he thought any place with a name like "The Cow Cafe" should serve burgers. Fortunately, all their food is delicious!

On Tuesday we went to the Aquarium. It was way too crowded.

On the plus side, everyone was watching the feeding of the otters, and the kids had the petting pools all to themselves. Usually I rush them away from all that water and petting of crabs and sting-rays, but this time I let them stay as long as they wanted and they loved it.
Delaney thought the fish were fascinating. She spent too much time running randomly.




On Wednesday I took a break. I dropped all the kids off at a sitter's and I went to Quilting, all by myself, and I loved it!





Yesterday we went to a neat park. I've been here 3 years and I had never heard of this place. How is that possible?!! The kids had a blast. I didn't. My nose dripped and I sneezed and rubbed my eyes and wanted to die. We didn't stay as long as I would have liked, all because of me. And they didn't get to eat their picnic lunch outside- they got to eat it in the car as I drove home in an allergy induced coma. It was a fantastic park though. We will have to go again.... maybe when the trees stop pollinating!





So today we are not going anywhere exciting. I had wanted to go to the Fossil Museum today, but I'm not up for a long drive. I think we'll return books to the library and call it a day!
