Spring Break Fun

I have been feeling a little guilty about not spending much time with the kids the past few weeks because of the all consuming bathroom project. So when Kennedy had a few days off for spring break last week, we made the most of it.

Her first day off was Wednesday, so we headed to Candace's house (my niece) to have some fun decorating Easter eggs.


The kids had a blast playing with all the cousins and decorating eggs in between all the fun.



Alex seemed to have more fun playing with all the cool tool toys and Dylan just liked playing with the crayons and coloring on Candace's table.



Thursday consisted of a very cold snowstorm and a trip to Jungle Jim's. Since none of the kids friends could come with us, we went alone and it was nice to see Alex and Kennedy actually playing together and enjoying riding rides together.



Dylan loved all the rides, even the little roller coaster that honestly made me a little woozy. (Any of you who have been on the dragon roller coaster at Jungle Jim's knows this thing isn't your typical kiddie roller coaster!)



Monday was another cold day, so we went to the indoor swimming pool at the Murray rec center with my friend Natalie and her kids. Kennedy, my little fish, jumped right in and was off playing and swimming like a pro. Now Alex and Dylan on the other hand, took about twenty minutes to finally think the pool might be fun. After a little prodding, they both finally decided to get in the water and they both had a blast. Alex even went down the big slide with me. Kennedy was going down the slide on her own once she realized she could touch at the bottom.

When it was time to go, we had a tough time getting everyone out of the pool. I'm glad the boys decided to like swimming. Alex has asked me about ten times since then when we are going swimming again.

We had a nice spring break and the kids seemed to have fun with some different activities. The problem now is that they think we should do something like that everyday! I'm just glad we took a little break from the construction zone and had some fun!
