Spring Break Fun!

I love spring break and I am even a little sad that it is over. It is so nice to be able to be a little less structured and to just have some fun together. It's seems like we are running every which way far too often. Tim was out of town in Las Vegas part of the week so he didn't get to play too much with us but here are some of the highlights:

The kids had a blast going bowling and now want to join the summer bowling league. Snausage thought the shoes were so cool. However, none of them could figure out why their skills on Wii bowling do not transfer to real life. They all did pretty good though and had a great time with their cousins.

Snausage and I went with my family to a Cubs vs. Rockies spring training game at Hohokam. The weather was perfect and our seats were great. He was bored by the middle of the first inning, but luckily Grandma H hooked him up with a pretzel and he had fun sitting with his big cousins. He really got into singing "Take me out to the ball game."

The highlight of the week and one of our family's favorite things of the whole year was the 8th annual Easter party at Grandma and Grandpa T's house. All of Tim's extended family was there and as always, we had a blast. The events of this party rarely change from year to year but we wouldn't have it any other way. We loved enjoying hot dogs, bouncing on the 50 foot slide, riding Grandpa's train around the yard and of course, going on a candy hunt. My job is to to buy the candy every year and every year I worry that I didn't get enough. But, you know you got enough when kids get tired of picking it up off the lawn! The big addition to this year's party was a soft serve ice cream machine. None of us could get enough ice cream, especially Cupcake. It was a great day and we hope Grandma and Grandpa will continue this tradition for years to come.
