It's been a very laid back spring break for us this year. I suppose that's good because we still have a little one in tow, the weather has been nice but overcast and a little windy every day (even a few sprinkles) and the time change, oh the time change.......it has really taken a toll on me this year and I think it's even affected the kids. But, all in all, we've still managed to have some fun and we've avoided the crowds, for the most part, which is always good.
Here are a few highlights of our staycation in pictures:
 |
| lunch @ McDonalds. They were excited to actually get a Happy Meal and stay and play at the playground. Notice the Mickey Mouse ears......Avery was invited to a birthday party and so the girls were there right before we went to lunch. |
 |
| Enjoying the nice weather in the back yard. |
 |
| The girls were game for making these boxes into cars. We have Cars 2 to watch sometime in the near future. They are planning on sitting in their cars while watching....... |
 |
| Wednesday night 1/2 price game night a Dave & Busters!!!! This place was a mad house. Derek was able to get off work "early" and so we met him there @ 5, had dinner, then played! In this picture Avery just won 400 tickets on Deal or No Deal......she chose her case, #3, because "that's how old I am." |
 |
| Since Avery's strategy worked Allie went with the same and picked case #5. She got 200 tickets! |
 |
| Blake was such a trooper |
 |
| Derek has known for a while that he was going to get to take Thursday and Friday off since the boss was going to be gone. We knew we wanted to go camping but waited to long to book anything and everywhere we checked was full. Derek thought to check at Randolph Air Force bases private area on Lake Canyon......and we were in LUCK! We got a prime spot right next to the lake. |
 |
| The beach. It was pretty low, but surprisingly warm. We didn't get in. Planned to the next day but it was way too windy. |
 |
| best friends |
 |
| Blake chillin' in the tent |
 |
| It was very windy. Perfect weather to fly a kite. We've had this kite for 6 years.....1st time flying it! |
 |
Starving......ready to eat!! Good thing we had dessert before dinner.
It was such a windy night. I thought our tent was going to blow away! Blake fell asleep right before dinner and basically slept the entire night. Allie was the first to fall asleep of the girls......Avery was scared. This was her first time camping since she was a little one. I let her climb onto the air mattress with Derek and I and she eventually fell asleep......until the wind really picked up. At that point, Allie also woke up and all four of us were squished together on the full size air mattress (Blake was in his pack n play). Needless to say I didn't sleep hardly any. Below you'll find how the kids slept. |
 |
| Decent amount of sleep. Just sad that we made the decision to leave early. |
 |
| Very happy boy that slept through the windy night. |
 |
| .............................I think we know who was up most of the night............ |
 |
| Saying goodbye to the lake |
 |
realizing they were standing in a red ant pile.....lots of screaming and stripping of clothes happened right after this.
Other fun not pictured: a trip to a new park that was a lot of fun. And not really fun, but we went to go out on Monday and the car wouldn't start. What a way to start spring break, huh!?!
I think the girls have had a fun week. They are pretty exhausted today, but already asking what we're going to do tonight and tomorrow. |
