Spring Break

Here is Anna having fun at Glow Golf!!

Matthew has been on spring break this past week.  He is only in preschool a few hours a day, but still I enjoyed not having to take him to and from school every day.  And I think he liked the break too, although a few times during the week he told me he missed his preschool teacher and wanted to write her an "I miss you Ms. Becky" letter, which was cute.

I wanted to make our "week off" fun and exciting even though we weren't leaving town.  We had a lot of fun, but I didn't get many great pictures.  I think because we were too busy having fun!  Here's what we did:

On our first Saturday we went to the Denver Children's Museum (see pictures HERE)

Monday we played Glow Golf, which the kids LOVED!!  They've been begging to go back ever since.

Tuesday we went to the skate park (and regular park) which was fun, but not too exciting for the kids since we do stuff like that more often.

Wednesday we went swimming and to a new library we haven't been to before.  I think swimming was everyone's favorite for the week.  We joined the YMCA (at least for a little while) and we can go to any of the six or so YMCAs in Colorado Springs, and all the YMCAs in Denver and Pueblo.  Some of them have fun swimming play structures for kids so we went to one of those, about 15 minutes from our house.  It was so fun, even though I had three non-swimmers to swim with.  The older ones wore life jackets and we stayed in the 2 ft deep and less area where the play structure is.  We had a great time, but alas, no pictures!!

Thursday we went to Chuck E. Cheese, which the kids always love!
Here's a blurry pictures of Anna cashing in her Chuck E. Cheese tickets at the ticket muncher!

Friday we had friends over all day (we were watching some friend's kids while they moved).  They have a little girl Anna's age and a little boy Matthew's age (and a little baby girl Grant's age, but we didn't watch her) so it was a lot of fun.  They also live around the corner...or did until the moved a few miles away on Friday.  :(  But I'm sure we'll still hang out a bit and it was fun having the kids over.

We did an Easter egg hunt with the kids in the yard.

And here's Anna with her little friend checking out their goodies.

 And Matthew with his.

On our last Saturday we did some gardening, watched conference and went out for YoYogurt. 

We thought we might do some other fun things on Saturday, but we were just too busy with other things.  Playing in the garden and tasty frozen yogurt was a nice end to our exciting and WARM week.  We've had so many nice warm days, it feels like spring is really here!  Of course, we've heard we are getting a freeze on Monday night.  So we'll see how that goes.  :)  Happy spring everyone and sorry for the bad pictures.
