Our Spring Break

Our week long Spring Break will officially be over tomorrow morning when we have to pull ourselves out of bed at our usual time. (A time we have not really seen for a week) We have had a wonderful Spring Break. Brian took the week off to spend with us. We were able to go to Redondo Beach, CA to visit my mom. While we were there we took the opportunity to go to the Beach, Disneyland, and California Adventures. We didn't end up taking our camera to the beach because we thought we would go back during our vacation-but we never made it back. The beach was pretty chilly. I didn't get the tan I was hoping for because every part of my body not covered in clothing was covered with beach towels in order to keep warm. The weather did not stop the kids. They played and played in the sand and even a little in the water. Treyson loved all the dirt and wanted to keep getting his feet wet. We actually saw a few dolphins swimming fairly close to the shore for quite a while. That was a fun experience for us all. After the girls both had a few tumbles in the water, it was time to go.

Disneyland was pretty packed as usual and we had to wait in some long lines, but it was fun nevertheless. California Adventures was not quite as crowded the next day. My mom was able to enjoy the theme parks from a whole new perspective by going with the kids. Most of the rides we went on were ones that she had not been on before. The kids loved having her with us. They kept a strict schedule of who got to ride with Grandma next.

One of the kids favorite rides in California was not at the theme parks. OH NO! It was at my mom's local TARGET. It had a parking garage on the main level so we got to ride on escalators up and down. Go Figure! Target was free to go to!!!

Since we have been back, Sylvia has contracted some sort of sickness that mainly consists of a very high fever (103-106). She is now on an antibiotic and is battling a horrible cough along with a low grade fever.

We were also able to have a picnic up in the red cliffs and do some hiking. We went to visit Amy's family and did some clay pigeon shooting with shot guns, and even did some much needed yard work.

Well, we have had a great week. The vacation ends tomorrow. We are sure looking forward to the end of MAY!
