Spring Break!!!

This past week was spring break here in our neck of the woods. Some people take this week off work and go out of town to enjoy time with family since the kids are out of school all week.. I consider myself blessed to be able to enjoy my family most every week as they are home with me. I remember times when spring break was just a week like any other for us. I would go to work, my kids would be dropped off at daycare and things were really no different for us. Now that Im home, we cant afford to take the vacation (that we never took anyway) but we did  have fun doing things around town.
This year really felt like a vacation. You know what I mean, when you go on vacation you run yourself ragged doing things and then come home needing a  vacation after vacation. I tried to plan something special for each day.  Monday, I cleaned house and did some grocery shopping to get that out of the way. This was not special but necessary. Tuesday, we took Autumn,Christian and Grandma with us to the McWayne Science Center to see the Backyardigans. We took sack lunchs and had a blast.

Wednesday, we were suppose to go Ice Skating but Chloe got sick and Grandma could not come so we decided to wait until Friday to do that.. We got haircuts instead on this day. Thursday, we went to the Huntsville Space and Rocket Center and to SciQuest. We left out at 9am, made a day out of it. The weather was gorgeous!! This time we invited Grandma, my 2 sisters, their families and another one of our cousins, Taylor. I think we had @ 12 people in our group. Taylor and Dez were off on a ride at the time of this picture.

We visited Sciquest first. The place is really neat. Then, we traveled to the nearest park for a picnic lunch. This particular park was really nice and had a pond with quite a few ducks. We decided to share our left over sandwich bread with them. That was just plain fun right there!! I remember doing this with my dad when I was little and it brought back some sweet memories. On to the Space Center from there. Every one enjoyed the Museum and all the rides. My favorite was the Spaceshot, which I just had to ride before we left. I love that adrenaline rush, it gets me every time!!
 
Friday.... I think Friday was the most fun of all the days. The pictures speak for themselves. Our Family, Grandma, Chloe and Taylor imparted on this adventure together. We started the day off by having pictures made. That was rather eventful and a whole other post in itself. LOL In some of the pictures you may notice that my baby has no shoes or socks on. Im not a bad mom, it's just in the rush of getting out the door for pictures I grabbed 2 different pairs of brown sandals. What? Dont act like its never happened at your house. So he was not only shoeless here but also for the pictures. Sometimes you just gotta go with it!
