We kicked off Spring Break with our ward Easter Egg hunt. It was an unusually cold day that surprised everyone but we managed to have fun regardless. The kids had fun playing with friends and then of course hunting for eggs.
Monday I had school so my Mom and Sister babysat in the morning and we went to the park in the afternoon. We went to the newly renovated Sunset Park and it was lots of fun! Can't wait to go back.
Tuesday my sister and I took our kids on a hike through the old Boulder Dam train tunnels. It is a perfect hike for little kids since it is pretty flat. The view of the lake is amazing and there were so many pretty wild flowers to admire! We will be going back soon and next time we will make sure we have enough time to go down and play by the lake. Natalie kept asking to go to the big water pool.
After our long and hot hike we went back to my Mom's and let the kids jump in the freezing pool and then relax in the hot tub. All the kids got to stay for a slumber party and we all had a good dinner together!
Wednesday morning I picked the kids up from my Mom's and then met up at the park with friends. The kids just played and played and played. It is so easy to sit at the park when the kids are having so much fun and letting us chat. I really enjoy watching our kids all interact now that they are getting older. Anyhow, after the park we took friends back home with us to play some more. By the time we took the Lichty kids home we were tired!
Thursday we were invited to go to Red Rock with some friends from our ward. We have only ever taken our kids on the Children's Discovery trail so it was fun to take them climbing on the sand stone rock. I was very surprised by their ability and scared at some points too. We felt like real mountain climbers squeezing through tight spots and climbing down steep rock formations. It was a bit of a challenge but I am so glad we went.
Friday we ended up just taking Natalie to the doctor for her eyes and ears. Poor girl had a goopy eye and ear infections. We decided to relax at home for the rest of the day. Saturday we recovered slightly and were able to go hang out at Ryan and BJ's home for a BBQ and egg decorating. The girls had fun playing and Zach and I got to enjoy a yummy steak dinner!
Spring Break was a lot of fun this year. We got to do many fun things and see lots of friends. I am officially wiped out though from the constant running around and glad the kids are back in school this week!
