The kids spring break just wrapped up, and what a great break it was! I'm not sure why, maybe it was just the weather being a little hotter than normal, but it felt like summer vacation.They had 7 days off from school, plus the 4 weekend days mixed in there, so they were home for 11 days in a row. It was really nice having them at home for the extended period of time.
We did lots of things during the break. We went to the beach several times, sometimes with just the family, sometimes with friends, sometimes with Grandma and Grandpa. More than once we saw dolphins, we even saw a manatee swimming right up close to the shore! We collected lots of shells, played football, threw the woboba, built castles, you name it. The Tornado was playing with J, the son of one of my closest friends, they interacted by saying "How old are you? What's your name? Let's build a sand castle".
We went to a Miracle game with some friends, and had a lot of fun on a beautiful night. The Tornado and his best buddy each got to play a contest on the field where they roll hula hoops around the field. They both got a baseball for their efforts! O and one of her friends played Name That Tune in front of the whole stadium and each won a restaurant gift card. The Bear had a player toss her a ball, so everyone went home happy.
We rode bikes, took some walks, ate together a lot, played some board games and went to the Tornado's game together. All in all, we got to spend a lot of time together as a family, and that's what makes it a great vacation!
