Whenever we go to the mall to play or shop or take a walk in the stroller, the mall rides always catch their eye and pulls them into a world of imagination. We have to spend a lot of time at these mall rides and its literally impossible to pull them away from them. I avoid them at all costs. They cause tantrums and runaway children. I never ever provide quarters. But Man, they are the worst. Well, in their eyes, they are the most incredible toys on earth!
Nate was able to chaperone on the Upper Elementary field trip to the Henry Ford Museum. They stayed in a hotel with friends and got to learn all about Henry Ford and all about cars. They had a blast!

In Preschool we did a whole session on P for painting and learning all about our colors. Fun times!
The Stump family invited us to a memorial weekend campout. We were lucky to snatch the cabins for the weekend for our camping comfort. We all had a lot of fun. We had foil dinners over the campfire and Smore's of coarse. All day the kids rode bikes, played in the lake, ran up and down the giant Sand dune Mountain and tried out canoeing and kayaking. So much to do! The boys got to kayak by themselves for the first time. Nathan got a ride in a canoe for the first time, and he hated it. He was pretty frightened. The Sandune's were a hit for everyone. The kids played flashlight tag with flashlights and glow sticks in the dark. It was a memorable trip that we will probably do again next year.
Our Spring Break destination was back to Destin where we brought along our friends, the Stump Family. We rented a huge house and it was a beautiful break from normal. The kids played, ate good food, swam, dug in the sand and made amazing memories together!
