Spring Break

It would have been great to go somewhere sunny and warm for Spring Break, but we didn't want to leave Jared (he still had work and school).  We are pretty easily entertained and going to visit my parents seemed like the perfect alternative.  It wasn't sunny, in fact it was really windy some of the days, but that didn't matter.  We had a great time!

Grandma had all sorts of fun crafts for the kids to do.  Hunter did this really cool painting.

 

 My girls made scrapbooks.

We went to parks, watched movies, and did a lot of visiting and relaxing.  It was just what we all needed.

One day my dad took off work and planned a fun outing for us to the McNary Dam.  We hoped to see some fish swimming up the fish ladder, but it was just our luck that we picked the worst month out of the entire year.

 

 

In case you can't tell, clear on the left is April.  Guess we'll have to come back in May, or really any other month.  It was pretty cool and we could tell that it would be a really neat place to visit when there are fish to see.

 

  We walked around some nature trails.

 We roasted hot dogs and s'mores.

 It was pretty windy.  See that red cooler in the background, it blew right off the table.

 But, no one complained and we still had our fun!

My kids love to roller skate.

And Grandpa loves to take them.

We left Kennewick after a couple days of fun and headed over to Olympia to visit the Madills and McInelly Grandparents. We had pizza, an Easter egg hunt which proved to be a great warm up for the real thing (more on that later), and had a sleepover with the cousins.

 

Loved Spring Break.
