Since this blog is really just my way of documenting our lives, (in other words, I cannot keep a journal to save my life!), I thought I'd do a post on our spring break, as uneventful as it was!
Both Ethan and Olivia were sporting some runny noses and coughs...so we laid pretty low for the first part of the week. And then I got sick - aches and fevers with allergies on top of it all. Poor Garrett was the only healthy one...and was anxious to have lots of fun! Poor kid...last year his spring break fell the week after my surgery and I wasn't up to much of anything besides recuperating. Maybe one day he'll have a more eventful vacation! :) But really, we are pretty content and well-entertained here at home...so it wasn't that big of a deal! :)
We started out with lots of playtime...
During a rainy day...I promised a rainy day surprise after Ethan's nap time...and they were pretty excited to create their own towns/houses/forts/whatever they came up with for the rest of the day!
Lots of jump time...paired with a bunch of balls. Really, it doesn't get any better than that!
We did plan a big camping trip at the end of the week...and had a blast! We went back up to DoubleLake...the perfect spot and not too far away! Nothing like good friends, lots of dirt, non-stop bike rides, and marshmallows galore! Of course, with Ethan's cold came back with vengeance...paired with crazy allergies of his own...so he, Olivia and I came home a day early. (Turns out that both Ethan and Olivia had double ear infections!) But we didn't miss too much...just a morning of packing up, while racing against the rain clouds that showed up a day earlier than expected!
So all in all...the week was great! Nice a cozy with the ones we love most! You can't ask for more than that! :)
