...now it's gone. {frown}
Sunny Spring weather was here...
...the rain {and snow?!} is coming.... {bigger frown}
We had gorgeous sunshine all week during our break and enjoyed it every single day!
Including Friday...yesterday I signed Alex and Emily up for swimming lessons at the YMCA...Yay! They have always been pretty good swimmers, never afraid of the water... wait, I take that back ...the very first swimming lesson Alex had when he was three, he screamed and cried the whole thirty minutes! But after that...all was well with the water! But I still think it's a good idea for them to improve on their ability...and have fun! Then we had Pizza King for lunch...Alex's choice! {a tiny joint near the YMCA that advertised free WiFi on the window and had a few picnic tables inside for seating! Ha! We love Pizza King and have been to several different ones, but this one was pretty hole-in-the-wall...but still delicious!}
We walked and shopped at the little shops....Emily got another 'stuffy' {a stuffed cat that she helped fill with fluff and picked out the outfit} because that has become the tradition when we go to Brown County...sigh...
A visit to the candy store...the ice-cream parlor...and a couple of my favorite stores for candles, a couple little knick-knacks {like I need more} and taking in all the rustic charm that I love!
After that...we headed to the State Park to climb the tall fire tower {we almost made it to the top...but Emily was a little scared...and my legs were a little wobbly!} ... and then hit the baseball a few times in an open, muddy field, dodging deer doo! And the whole time we were having fun...I did not look through the eye of my camera once...did not make the kids stop and look at me...I just wanted to enjoy the moment in 'real life'!
{Okay...you know me better than that!} I did finally take my camera out only when we stopped at the playground...because I just can't resist capturing them on the playset and swings and with all the trees surrounding us...
...while watching them play...
...and a few "Okay...smile...look at me!"...
But now our fun, sunshine-filled days, sleeping-in lazy mornings, no homework, no activities...gone.
Back to school and Spelling, Math and AR tests...blah...
The later nights, sleeping on the couch to watch tv, eating chips and popcorn before bed...gone.
Back to earlier bedtimes and no treats after 7pm...boring...
Spring is here...Spring Break is gone...
So bring on Summer vacation!
aww, I know it flew by. I dont know about giving up the chips and sleeping late tho.. (I mean me , not them ;) Great pics and yes~ BRING on SUMMER!! xoxo LA
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you had an awesome time! And you did a ton on Spring Break...all we did was go to the park and the boys stayed the night at mine and Jason's parents' one night! I love the picture of Emily laying on the tree:)
ReplyDeleteYour Spring Break sounds right up my alley! And I know what you mean about the importance of setting the camera down every once in a while. It's nice to capture the moment but sometimes it is even nicer to live it right along with the kids. Hope your weather warms up and the sunshine returns! School will be over before you know it!
ReplyDeleteYOur spring break sounded like so much fun! Ours is now over as well...tear...but thinking of summer vaca as well...9 weeks and counting!! You captured some great shots!
ReplyDeleteYou had a great week and I love that you shared it with us. That Emily is going to be a model...she's adorable! Summer will be here before we know it...it has to be!
ReplyDeletewhat a fun week you have had and what a nice way to wrap up the week. Beautiful weather at the park. Gorgeous pictures. Love the one of Alex on the slide and Em jumping over the log. Great moments.
ReplyDeleteWe will be on break in about two weeks. Can't wait.
Gotta start planning some fun stuff:) So I can be a fun cool mom like you.
Happy Sunday!
It looks like you had a blast during Sprng break! Summer will be here before you know it... and gone again!!
