Spring Break


My cute boys acting silly in the front yard to start off our spring break Thursday night. We also went to Daniel's High School performance. It was some great music, Delfina went with us to see Daniel in "teacher mode".

We started our spring break a little early with my mother-in-law, Delfina, coming into town for two weeks. We haven't seen her for almost a year. It was so great to see her. On Good Friday Daniel and I took the boys to the Wild Animal Park while Delfina went down the hill for some shopping. The butterflies were there and one decided to land on Auston and stay there for a long time, we finally had to ask someone who worked there to remove the butterfly so we could leave the enclosure. A butterfly landed on Kolby's hand but flew away as soon as I tried to take a picture, bummer.

Here is a pic of Kolby feeding a Lorekeet bird.

We also went to our annual Strawberry and Lasagna Party at our dear friend Claudia's house. You bring a dish to share and it needs to be a strawberry dish or a lasagna dish. We also bring eggs and have a huge egg hunt. There were a lot of lady bugs in the grass that kept Kolby busy for a while. He would pick one up and show me and it would fly away, he would try and try again to get them to stay but they wanted to catch the wind. That night we relaxed and watched "Premonition" at Nana's request.

This is a pic of Daniel, Delfina and the boys in the water friendly garden.

Here is a pic of my boys with my mom.

Wednesday we went to the Wild Animal Park a second time with Delfina, AKA Nana, and were able to see the butterflies again, none landed on us this time but, we still had a nice time.

Daniel, Nana, and Kolby on the train.

My silly kids cracking out of the egg, who doesn't have this picture?

Thursday night we stayed home and watched "Michael Clayton" at Nana's request as well. To say the least it was and interesting movie, I don't know if I liked it or not. Friday morning Daniel took Nana to the airport. We were sad to see her go and Kolby threw a fit at her departure. When Daniel returned we packed up and went to the beach to end our Spring Break. My kids love the beach. It was cold but that didn't stop us from having a great time. We ran from the waves, Auston made a shell necklace, Daniel and the boys made a sand castle and we made hot dogs on the beach for dinner. I will look forward to spending many more days at the beach with my kids this summer.
