Spring Break

Monday, March 25, 2013--Lied Discovery Children's Museum

Today we went to the new Lied Discovery Children's Museum.  The Museum moved locations, and made it even bigger.  The hardest part was keeping track of the boys (especially Clark).  I lost Clark about 5 times, and I lost Logan 1 time.  Good thing they had lots of staff that could help locate them.  Clark is just too quick, and he wants to do his own thing.  Next time I need Vance to come with us so that one of us could be with Clark.  The boys had fun!  We did not get to see everything, so we will have to come back to explore some more.  The favorite thing we did today was "The Water World"-to see how things move in water.  This was a fun start to Spring Break!

Today we went to Cactus Wren Park in the morning.  The boys wanted to play some catch.  Then they also had fun playing on the park stuff.  Logan is doing great pumping himself on the swing.  There were some girls there that hid some plastic eggs with treats in them around the playground.  The boys had fun finding the eggs.  Then that afternoon while I did some errands, the boys spent some time with Grandma and Grandpa Gibson.  Grandpa is teaching the boys to play Chess.  They love it!

Wednesday is always a very busy evening.  Brady and Logan have baseball practice at the same time at different parks, Brady has Cub Scouts, and I have Young Women's.  We meet Vance at his office, and he takes Logan and Clark and I take Brady.  Then after Brady's practice, we rush to get to Cub Scouts and Young Women's.  Brady is doing well in Baseball, but he says that he likes Soccer better because there is more running.  Logan like T-Ball, but I don't get to see his practices.

 This random girl at the park kept asking me to take her picture, so when I told Logan to smile at the camera, she popped in the picture.

The Dawson's got here last night.  Today Stacey and I took the kids to the park, so Whitney and Chip could go to lunch for Chip's Birthday.  Then after dinner, Nani prepared an Easter Lesson that all the kids could participate in.  It is fun to be with cousins!

Today was another fun filled busy day!  We went to Ethel M Chocolate Factory.  One of Brady's Cub Scout tasks was to visit a Botanical Garden, so he decided that he wanted to visit the Cactus Garden.  Ethel M Chocolate Factory was a very busy place to be.  We had to stand in many lines to see the Easter Bunny, get our face painted, and get a balloon.  We also went through the line to get our free chocolate.  The kids had fun despite all the standing in line.  We got it all done, and Brady even was able to see all the Cacti in the Garden.  Then we went back to Vance's parents' house for dinner.  We had a Barbecue followed by Chip's Birthday Cake.  Then for Chip's birthday present, I decided to have Abby and Quinn spend the night at our house.  The boys love to have their cousins spend the night!

The Pool is officially open for business!

The kids woke up early, and played at our house all morning.  Then we went over to Vance's parents' house to go for a swim after lunch.  The pool was a little chili (about 76 degrees), but the spa was heated.  After the swim, the kids were tired out so they wanted to watched "Wreck It Ralph".  Then we decorated Easter Eggs, made bunny rolls, sheep, bunnies out of pretzels, and yogurt covered strawberries.  Thanks to pinterest, Nani finds such fun activities to do for the holidays.
