Spring Break 2013

We had a nice, relaxing Spring Break this year! Mom came down to visit on Monday, and she stayed for a couple days. It was nice to have her to entertain the big girls! We also went down to the Aquarium one day and fought the Spring Break crowds. It wasn't too busy, but busy enough to kind of get annoying. It was a beautiful day weather wise, and the girls had a fantastic time as usual. They even both got their faces painted this year. Brooke went on the ferris wheel for the first time, and she seemed a little skeptical. Adilyn rode her favorite ride, The Lighthouse Drop, with me. It still amazes me that she isn't scared to do that. The other time that Mom was here, the girls just played and did their normal thing around the house. 

On Thursday, Mason and Wyatt came over while Dana went to work, and the kids had a great day playing together! They are so cute how they come up with games to play with each other where everyone can be included. The boys are a full 4 years older than Kacy, but they still do things that she can do with them and have fun. They were playing something with an office, and they had set up a very elaborate office with a waiting room and everything in Brooke's room. It was a beautiful day, so I thought they would love to go to the park, so we loaded everyone up. We were there for about 30 minutes before they all said they were hungry. After lunch they played for another 30 minutes before they were all bored and ready to go home. Crazy kids, a beautiful spring day with a whole park to play in, and they were bored!?! I couldn't believe it. I "forced" them to stay for another hour or so because Cory was going to come join us. They played some soccer, and they found a couple other kids to play with so they were fine. We got home, and they decided to watch "Daddy Daycare" while Brooke took a nap. It was adorable to hear them all giggling out in the living room at all the funny parts! I love their sweet relationship with each other :)

Cory was working on getting his garage/workshop set up, so we hung out around the house for most of the rest of the week. It was pretty hot, so Saturday we were out in the backyard and the girls started playing with the pool water. Then, they ventured on the first step. Then, they ventured on the second step. Before I knew it they were in the freezing cold pool! Kacy was way more wimpy than Adilyn about the cold, but I can totally understand! I would have never gotten in there! We went to a wedding that night, and the girls had a fantastic time seeing the fancy dresses and dancing.

It was great to have everyone at home together with no dance, gymnastics, soccer, etc. There were some arguments here and there, of course, but it's so nice to have some time to relax and sleep in!
