Spring Break

A few weeks ago, we had a chilly cold spring break!  The weather may have changed some of our plans, but it was a wonderful "staycation" spring break.

We were planning to head to Milwaukee for a few days of hotel pools and zoos, but because of the weather, we stayed at home.  Instead, we hit LEGOLAND and Rainforest Café one day.  We had a great day!







 
 
We did a lot of catching up on things over spring break. New shoes needed to be bought.  Our house needed a good old-fashioned cleaning.  Easter outfits needed to be finished.  We needed to catch up on a lot of things.  But we still found time to do fun things like eat lunch at McDonalds.  I love that the kids appreciate the little things in life.
 
The highlight of Abigail's spring break was her movie date.  Abigail's teacher took her and her friend to a movie.  It was a silent auction item we purchased for Abigail and she was a happy little girl.  What an amazing memory of kindergarten her teacher created for her!
 

 
The final 3 days of spring break, we headed up to the cabin for the weekend (unfortunately Papa couldn't join us because he had to work).  In keeping with the theme this year, it was COLD.  But we managed to get outside for a couple hours around the campfire.  Also, the girls and Nana stopped at the Garfield Park Conservatory on the way to pick up Daddy at work and enjoyed the warm indoor weather, the beautiful flowers, and a fun visit with their cousins!
 










All in all, it was a pretty great spring break. Only 10, 9, 8 more Mondays and then I'm home with them for the WHOLE summer.  I can not wait!!!!

Looks like such great memories were made - maybe more fun than going somewhere warm? Sometimes the best weeks off are ones at home....so cute!
