Spring Break at Home

Who says spring break has to be far or expensive!

We had quite a great time here at home.

At the beginning of the week, we asked everyone 

what they wanted to do and then we planned it all in.

They wanted to have a lot of free play,

so they jumped on the trampoline with blankets until it started raining.

We played games and had picnics at the park on a sunny days and

basketball at the church on one rainy day.

I wanted the garage clean, so they all chipped in and helped,

then dad took them fishing for the afternoon.

We had a night of camping nearby 

(so mom and the 2 youngest could go home to sleep at night- 

it was a win-win!)

We repaired all the bikes and put training wheels 

on one of them for Holland- she is in heaven!

We took them swimming a couple of times-

once at the local swimming pool, 

and once near grandma's house at the end of the week-

where extended family joined in with us.

(Grandma had some passes, so it only cost us $3-

which was the total expense for the week-

WHO CAN BEAT THAT!)
