Spring break

Last Friday marked the beginning of Lily's long-weekend "spring break". With all of the snow we have had this year, the district opted to shave off some days of spring break so the kids will still get out before June. Good plan, if you ask me! We love our summer!

Anyhow, I wanted to still fit in some fun for the occasion so the three of us went on little outings. I tried to keep as much of it a surprise as I could to add to the excitement. :) 
(Daddy was out of town so he missed out on the fun.)

First up...the movies! Mr. Peabody and Sherman. Kids loved it. Apparently this is Jackson's new selfie pose. Goofball!
Pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast!
Saturday was a little windy but a nice day for a bike ride
Jackson got a new big boy bike! He loves it and is already riding like a pro!
And we now have a 2-wheeler!! This was Lily's first bike ride out of the driveway without training wheels and she did so well! So proud of her determination!
Water break :)
With all of that exercise, we had to go to Culver's :)
I love this pic of my sweet babies.

And who goes to Culver's and doesn't get frozen custard?! Not this fam!
Jackson teased me that he didn't think he would finish this on his own and may need "help". When I tried to dip my spoon in his custard, he flipped! "No Mom! It's my ice cream!" That stinker literally licked the bowl clean!! He is my son :)
Now this one was happy to share :) She's always my sweetie.
Saturday night was a family worship night at church called X-Cite. It was a beach theme so these were their outfits of choice. Jackson was so excited to wear his new Spider-man swim trunks and shirt! (Thanks Grandma L.!) He's perfecting his "web shooting" pose.

I tried a new smoothie recipe and it was a huge hit! Peanut butter-oatmeal-banana...yummy!
Monday, we met up with Hilary and Maria for a zoo day!
The kids had a great time and were exhausted when we left
And....we wrapped up the fun with a new haircut for Lily. She is into short styles now and kept saying, "Mom, I look like Rapunzel after her hair was cut short!" A princess cut for my princess!

As we were driving home from her haircut, she said "Mom, this was the best spring break ever!" She loves her quality time and we sure had our fill of it these past four days! Such fun making memories.
