Spring Break Part Two ~ Happy Easter!

We continued the Spring Break fun on Wednesday with an afternoon camp at My Gym for the kids.  I finished up some errands and enjoyed the quiet time while the kids played away to complete exhaustion.

 

Thursday we met some of our most precious friends at Carowinds.  It was super cold and windy but they had a great time.

Preston and Luke loved sitting together in the front!

We got home and were ALL completely exhausted.  So we all took a good long nap.  Whew!  I'd forgotten how tiring a few hours at Carowinds can be. 

Friday we had planned a play date at the park and it was still super chilly and windy.  So, it only last a little over an hour before we called it a morning and opted to bring Savannah's friend home with us for a few hours.  They enjoyed playing and before we knew it the week of break was over!

Waiting in line at Discovery Place

Saturday we decided to all go to Discovery place . . . and didn't know that everyone else in Charlotte had the same idea.  The wait in the SHORT line was over 40 minutes!  But we patiently waited and enjoyed time together without having to rush around.  It's nice having passes so you don't feel like you have to see it all in one day. :)  We did take in the science show, which we all enjoyed!

And then it was finally EASTER!  This year the crazy Easier bunny hid the baskets upstairs in the workout room.  Preston was first to find them all, but Savannah quickly joined him to examine the loot.  They each got a toy, sunglasses, silly socks, and of course lots of candy.

After church we headed to Burlington to have lunch with dad, Mark and Grandma.  The kids were super excited about having an Easter egg hunt again.  They missed their cousins (who were in Disney) but enjoyed time with family none the less. 



This picture of Buddy chasing Preston cracks me up!

After a delicious meal and lots of dessert we packed it up and headed back to Charlotte.  What a fun week we had!  Now it's back to the grind as the school countdown begins!!!

Happy Easter!!
