Spring Break family style

I am not one to use the word epic lightly.  Epic is an amazing word, tiny, yet packs a very powerful punch.  You won't find me talking with others and saying things like "That Wendy's frosty was epic!" or "Dude, what an epic car!"  I just can't do it.  To use epic in such a way robs it of its beauty and power.

So when I say this Spring Break was epic, you better believe that it went well beyond a normal week and into an area where legends are from!

Monday
  • Story time at the library- Garrett sat quietly and listened to a story and we sang songs and then played with the other kids and a whole bunch of new toys.  It was awesome.
  • Massive bump on the head (see previous post).
Tuesday
  • Went to kindergym- a raucous romp with kids, play sets, balls, tunnels, bubbles, more songs, rolling down mats, and crawling through rings!  A total blast.

This might just be the cutest video we've ever taken of G.








  • In the evening the Halversons came over for a visit.  Garrett and Bryce played.  The parents tried to keep up.
Wednesday
Santa Ana Zoo!














Thursday
  • recovery day - I went to swim practice but otherwise we just stayed home and relaxed a little bit.  In the afternoon we went to the park.
Friday
  • The best laid plans of mice and men often go askew- and so it went with Friday's plans.  However, we still were able to spend a lovely day with Laina, Josh, and cousin/niece Kaylin. 



Saturday
  • Cousin Kay, Aunt Lain, and Uncle Josh left this morning leaving Mom and Dad to relax, clean up, and enjoy remaining hours of workless peace.  Mom and Garrett went to the park and took a walk while Daddy (that's me!) worked, and then fixed the busted sprinkler pipe.  I felt very accomplished buying, cutting, cementing, and completely fixing the pipe that I broke!
And now there is just one more day left before work/school starts back up.  I'm thinking I might call in sick Monday.

Thanks for giving us a peek into your marvelous week of spring break.
I think Garrett was telling Kaylin to get out of his chair. It sounded like, "out".
I'm counting the days now! love, Gigi

Whatever he is saying, he sure doesn't want her in his chair. E-P-I-C.

He probably was afraid she was in his chair, eating his raisins! What a busy, fun week you all had. Hope Garrett's big bruise is about gone.
Love ya, Grandma B
