Spring Break 2010

Our Spring Break wasn't quite what we had planned. . . . no long days driving, tests and doctors appts, and definatly no seperation anxiety from being a long distance family --nope, we had plenty of togetherness this Spring Break, and though we had a kink thrown in our plans, we had a great Spring Break! This is what we did. . .

Monday: After our whirlwind little Hot Springs trip and some playing in the snow, I thought a relaxing day at home was just what we needed --WRONG. . .I decided following this day, that we needed a daily activity for the rest of the week. But, the boys did play a little dress up . .
They dressed up as me. . . what cute outfits!:)

. . .and as me and Kerry. . .silly boys!! They also played on the bunkbeds, no pictures from that because everytime I went in the room I was attacked by 3 warriors perched on the top bunk! (another post will show off Evan's new bed!)







Tuesday: We went with Pop and CiCi to the Wildcat Refuge in Eureka Springs -- it was sooo neat and the boys learned alot (and so did I)!



We had a yummy picnic right beside some tigers and lions!



We took a tour of the habitats and learned alot about where each of the cats came from.














Then, we explored the Ripley's believe it or not bridge and took a hike . . .


. . . the boys at pivet rock.








some exploring. . .










some posing. . .







Wednesday: We headed to the park. It wasn't the prettiest of days, actually it was borderline pouring down rain, but that didn't stop us from playing, training for the "ironpig" run, playing in the creek and eating a picnic lunch! (no pictures this day, sorry!)

Thursday: We went to JUMP ZONE! The boys had been before, they went with Auntie M and she had told me how fun it was -- the boys had a blast! They were red faced and exhausted when we left. Plus, it was a cold, rainy day -- perfect day to Jump off some energy inside!
























Friday: We all loaded up the bikes and headed to Prairie Grove Battlefield. We rode bikes, played on the playground and the boys did some more training for their Ironpig run. Plus, we got a little history lesson in . . .




























It was a great week!
