Spring Break Adventures

When I realized JT was about to be on spring break I was daydreaming of days that I let him watch movies while Hea Baby napped and I got to maybe read a book... Then I realized that this was his first ever spring break and I wanted to make it (and all the ones to come) a really cool week of doing things and going places that we normally don't either have time to do or don't take time to do!

We visited the Natural History Museum with cousins and friends and then picnicked on the grass (yay for taking Subway Sandwiches!)

(lol @ Hea baby's mad face)

We went to the Beach (it was Hea baby's first time!). There were lady bugs ALL OVER!! The water was cold but the sun was warm. All the kiddos loved it and we were glad to get more QT with the Schlarbs <3.
(lady bug in Yana's hair!)


We went out for pancakes then hiked the trails at the El Dorado Nature Center with our Kamae cousins and then visited with the animals at the SPCALA animal village. (Thanks Mari)




We did science experiments with citric acid and baking soda, JT got a lot of creative freedom here and I didn't even mind mopping up the purple puddles that resulted.



We had a picnic at the duck park and then played Hide and Seek.


(she wasn't too happy about being caught by her brother...)

We went to the movies with our favorite "other Booths" and had fun learning "How to train your dragon"!


We squeezed in a few movies and a baseball practice and on Sunday night before school JT said, "Mom, this was the best spring break ever".

Mission accomplished.
