Ben had a different spring break from school than the kids, so he just worked through their spring break, but we didn't let that stop us from having fun!
Monday we headed to the zoo and met up with the Pospisils. We got there nice and early and the weather was great. The kids had more fun catching up with their friends than seeing the animals (me, too!). It did my heart good to see Dylan and Ethan together again and Kaleb & Andrew really hit it off as well. We saw the Orangutans play with palm leaves and the lions were really moving because they were about to get fed. e also had a duck join us for lunch and kettlecorn, and ended the day at Stingray Bay where Kaleb got a high five from a stingray.
Tuesday we met April and Maelynn + kids at the cheap theater for Wreck it Ralph. K leaned over halfway and said, "This is AWESOME!" I hadn't seen Maelynn in a long time, so it was great catching up and meeting her baby Colbie. We also had Ayden come and spend the night. The stayed up late playing checkers, laughing, and being rowdy little boys.
Wednesday we headed to Maricopa for a picnic at the park. We stayed for hours and got to see so many of our dear friends. Ruby was on one and refused to get dressed. I had some early morning stress with Ayden & Mindy, so I decided not to fight her, but she ended up at the park in her superman underoos with pink blingy boots. What am I going to do with her?!? That night we headed to ZOYOS in our pjs for half off fro-yo.
Thursday we needed a down day, and so we stayed home and met Ben for lunch. It was a great day for eating outside at In-n-Out. Afterward I braved WalMart with all three and the kids spent their allowance. That evening they begged to help me make fresh squeezed lemonade from the lemons JoAnn gave us. We sugared the glasses and had taco salad that night. Delicioso!
We were supposed to go hiking Friday, but the weather was really hot, our cousins balied on us, and I didn't feel like taking the kids all on my own. We ended up taking a bike ride to the park instead. I think my kids enjoyed the park and friends days best of all.
