Laurel Hills Park!
We may be back from the beach, but we’re still on spring break! Today we decided to enjoy the nice weather and take the kids to Laurel Hills park to play. We had picked up a pair of Hello Kitty walkie-talkies at the beach, which Kendall spotted in the Best Buy. We let the kids play with them at the park, even though they’re a bit noisy, and don’t work all that well! Walkie-talkie hide-and-seek was a fun game, and some of the other kids wanted to get in on the action....

Today was our last day at the beach for this spring break! We had a nice relaxing breakfast together, and let the kids play while we worked on packing up. We spent a little more time outside, and Brian found some “stoplight leaves”–red, yellow, and green. Plus, he found the biggest pine cone he’d ever seen! It’s still too cool out for the kayaks, but we had to promise Brian that he’d get to use them later this summer, once it warms up. Once we got them...

Today we decided to have an outing to the aquarium with the kids! Brian passed on going last time, but he felt like attending this time. I think he was glad he decided to come!

It’s our first full day at the beach, and we mostly took it easy and had a relaxing day. That’s exactly what you need sometimes, right? The kids played inside this morning, with the penguin bowling set, and with the Lego Beach House set. Kendall debuted some of her new summertime pajamas and was quite proud of herself. The kids both have new Lego-themed crocs–those were quite a hit! It’s still a little chilly this early in spring, but it was a lovely day to be...

At Brian’s after-school program at Laurel Hills, the kids get to earn play money that they can turn in for prizes or treats. Today, Brian came out sporting a new necklace shaped like a guitar pick, that said “Rock On!” He was pretty proud of it. 😉 At dinnertime, he realized that Kendall’s shirt was decorated with guitar picks, and he thought she should wear it. Aww! Kendall was quite pleased with this turn of events, I think she’d been a little jealous of it!...
