Spring Break!

The kids had a great Spring Break! Monday started with Carter going to his cousin, Natalie's and playing all day long.
On Tuesday, I met up with my sister-in-law, Liz, and we took our kids (along with Natalie) to I-HOP to have the Horton Hears a Who breakfast and then took them to the movie. I forgot my camera! Breakfast was really cute. They had Green Eggs and Ham with Pancakes with pink and blue syrup. The movie was cute too. We had fun, but it wasn't a cheap excursion!
The next day I took the kids over to Kate's house. I forgot my camera AGAIN. (What's up with me?) We had a nice time hanging while the kids played. We never get to see each other when our kids are in school because one of us (usually her) is having to pick up kids not long after dropping them off. She has one in 1st grade and two in preschool. She is busy.
Then, Thursday I met up with Kate and her family at PoJo's for some family fun. PoJo's is place similar to Chuck E. Cheese's but has bumper cars. It took some convincing, but I got Carter and Connor to go on the bumper cars with Chad (Kate's hubby).
Friday we relaxed during the day and then Ryan took the boys to the motorcycle show that night with his friend Phil and Phil's son, Aiden. Spencer was in heaven! I guess he was jumping up and down the whole night.
Saturday, Ryan took Carter skiing. He offered to take Spencer, but Spence didn't want to go. They met up with Todd and Annabelle and had a great time. Carter learned how to use his poles and went down the big hill without any help from Ryan. You go Carter!!!
Sunday we went to church and vegged all day. We needed a day to recoup!
So here are the pictures I did take...
Cora still eating her pizza.

Carter playing a game.


Connor playing a game as well. Boys will be boys.


Kate's twins taking a ride. Emmie is on the left and Callie on the right.


Kate and Josie

This was the best picture that I could get of the bumper cars. These are the best bumper cars ever, by far. They spin on a dime!



Cora and Dax waiting while we turned in our tickets. I have to make a comment about Dax's bib. The last time Kate was at our house she had a similar bib on Dax and Ryan came home for a minute and asked, "What is that he has on him?" I said, "It's a bib!" Ryan replied with, "THAT is not a bib." Lucky for me, Kate laughed hysterically! It is a good thing she can appreciate Ryan's sense of humor.


We had to have a picture taken of us! Kate and I have been friends for nearly 9 years and we only have one other picture taken with both of us in it. I think it is about time, don't you?


This was the motorcycle show. Downing some popcorn before the festivities begin.


A look at their view!

Sorry it was soo wordy. But it was a fun-filled week fit into one post. I guess it is to be expected.
