I am a little behind in my posting this month... I have just been exhausted. We had a great spring break. After 4 restful days of laundry and house cleaning, we drove to Ft. Myers for my Grandma's 80th birthday. We were able to go to Sanibel Island for one of the days. We had mud pie at McTee's and then went for an amazing walk on the beach!
Sorry, no pics of the beach, but I kicked myself all night for leaving it in the car. The tide went out fast, while we were walking around, and left the sand bar showing. The kids were so excited to see all of the sea animals on the sand bar. We had hermit crab races, saw what the kids called a sea slug, saw many critters that lived in shells, muscles, and even some other kinds of crab. We saw jelly fish (scary) and even star fish (that we helped by tossing back into deeper water). The kids collected millions (ok, probably not millions but lots) of shells to take home, and we spent about 3 hours cleaning and playing with on the following day.
After 2 days of great behavior, we went to Chuck E Cheese for Friday night fun. Cousin Kaitlyn made it to Ft. Myers just in time to join us! Kendra and Kaitlyn had a blast playing together while the boys went off to play video games.
At the end, Kendra had won enough tickets to get her and Kaitlyn a large sucker, so the wonderful mom I am, I bought one for the boys. No one could believe that they could eat them on the way home!
On Saturday, it was Great Grandmas family party! She reports that it was her best birthday ever... (more pics to come!)
Then on Sunday, it was Easter. Off to the egg hunt we go! The kids had fun having our Easter Celebration in Ft. Myers, and the retired neighbors LOVED watching the egg hunt from their windows!
Then it was time to drive back to Kissimmee, and off to another week at work. I am still recovering from the "break" but it was tons of fun!
