Spring Break

 My girls are on Spring Break this week.  Hurray!  I love having my kids home, and no alarm clocks.  We are living it to the fullest.

Just a cute photo of my babe:

We went to enjoy lunch and General Conference with my family on Sunday.  I went on a quest to get a good photo of their peacock, Pretty Boy:
 This beautiful bird just showed up one day in their big pine tree and has stuck around for at least a year now.  I think Pretty Boy needs a (Not so) Pretty Girl.

We enjoyed Conference, pie, and family.  The kids disappeared with their cousins.  The girls begged to stay the night with their cousins, so Monday was a pretty quiet day for me (although the littles did get a trip to the park), and my girls were spoiled rotten by my sister, going ice skating, on a pony ride, and to McDonalds!  That night we got to keep an extra kid:
 Tuesday started with a trip to the "Castle Park":
Then a picnic in the backyard.  My sister and neice joined us in the afternoon.  We did Grandma's Easter shopping and then stuffed eggs for the coming egg hunt:
 Daisy was a big help too:

And then, we went to the pond to take K's boat for a spin:

 And eat sand:

And make sand creations:

 And enjoy the warm Spring sun:

 And get wet:



And eat a picnic dinner: 

And play on the equipment too:
 (Doing the monkey bars must be painful when you are 40 :) or really fun.  What does that facial expression say to you?)

A cheesy, happy grin:
 I'm pretty sure you can tell the depth of our fun by the state of our hair by the end of the day.  That hairdo tells me we had a lot of fun.

I love that darling girl poking in the corner there.

What a fun couple days!  And we aren't through yet!  More fun to come!
