Keeping the boys entertained for Spring Break is a must. Otherwise they are at each other's throats and wanting to watch TV all day long!
Monday we got together with friends and the boys played poison ball (aka never-ending dodgeball).
Tuesday we saw How to Train a Dragon 3 in the theaters and the boys played with friends in the afternoon.
Wednesday we played in the nice sand at a creek near our house. Then we made slime and oobleck in the afternoon. We also played our new Harry Potter game that Caleb got for Christmas.
Matt took Thursday and Friday off of work, which is a big deal. He hasn't had many vacation days since starting his new company. So Thursday we made a 3 1/2 hour drive to an amusement park early in the morning, played all day, then drove home that night getting home at 10pm.

Our cousin, Sam, came with us. It was nice to have a girl in our party!

Matt on The Riddler with Carter and Caleb. (Zooming in you can see Matt in the center with his arms raised--he loves this ride.)
Friday/Saturday we went camping with 3 of my siblings and their families.
Friday afternoon hike
Camping isn't my favorite activity mostly due to all the work before and after combined with not sleeping well, but my kids all enjoy it and love spending time with their cousins. We enjoyed s'mores and cobbler all together and gathering around the fire to talk and share some funny and scary stories. Everyone slept pretty well during the night. It got down to 45 degrees so we were all chilled but stayed warm in our sleeping bags.
Hot chocolate Saturday morning
Austin and Morgan are good buds because they hang out together frequently.
Saturday afternoon hike with most cousins
We all enjoyed the break this week! A break from school, baseball, and seminary for Matt. Everyone got to sleep in a little longer and be lazier. It was some much-needed fun and relaxation!
