Spring Break Fun! (part 2 of 2)

Army Day Spring Break 2011

Spring Break was busy around here. We didn't take a big trip anywhere, but we filled each day with fun activities! We kicked it off with a drive down to Veneta to visit with my side of the family. We had a great lunch and visit. We left from there and drove to Springfield and went to Splash! It's a really cool indoor water park. All of us swam and played till we were flat out exhausted. Our drive home that night was silent...because all 3 kiddo's were passed out.

Later in the week we had an "ARMY" day. Mac invited some of his buddies over and they hid and played in the wooded areas around our neighborhood. They had such a blast! I didn't see them all day with the exception of an occasional checkin' in and snack time! We will definitely be having many more Army days (:

We also skied and skied and skied some more. These are some pictures of Ski Bowl. It was a gorgeous day up there. The kids enjoyed the tow ropes and skiing down the mountain for sure!

I took Lilly and Peyton to Skate World one day too. I am not sure if they had more fun or if I did? I didn't have Griff with me, so I strapped on my roller blades and skated with them for 2 hours straight! It was a blast and really a great work out too. I even grooved with Lilly when they blasted the Justin Bieber songs she somehow knows... LOL. We ended the skating session with a cold soda and some cotton candy. YUM!

Griff spent his time getting into anything and everything and definitely enjoyed all the action, kids and activities that were happening all around him.

We decided to hold our weekly Girl Scout meeting even though a few gals would be missing. It was pretty exciting for them. We had a Clackamas County Deputy visit and talk about "respecting authority". Each week we talk about something that goes with our Daisy Petals that they are earning. Having him come out and talk about being respectful, obeying laws and being responsible was perfect! They all asked a lot of questions and had many, many comments!

Yep, it was a nice spring break. We also squeezed in 2 trips to the movie theater and had a few sleepovers too.
