It must be Spring Break...

Spring Break=Knott's Berry Farm.

We have headed south to play at Knott's every spring break for several years now. It is always guaranteed fun for everyone. The kids are getting so big (and brave) now that everyone but Aidan was on all the big rides. The crowds were not too big, and we rode 12 hours to our hearts' content. I couldn't believe how fast the day went, and was a little sad when it was all over! We have to wait a whole year for another day like this. We drove back today and stopped at Griffith Park to check out the view and the Observatory. I love spring break. We are up late watching a movie right now... certainly can't do that on a school night!

a little catch up

ok... So i'm behind. Not a big surprise. A few weeks ago, I got to go on the 4th grade trip to the Monterey Bay Aquarium with Noah. Before we even left, one of my charges announced that he felt like he might puke. Hmmm... I sent him up to sit with his teacher!! All ended well with a fun day and NO vomit on the bus. Always a bonus. Noah is a fun guy to hang around. He read, I read, and we were both happy!

Austen was asked to join the cast of "Law and Order: Fairy Tale Unit" (the 7th-9th grade play) about a week before the performance!! She was thrilled, to say the least. She played the cow and was the cutest cow I've ever seen!! She was supposed to be "Over the Moon" about something, and I'm just not sure she was even acting. The whole cast did a great job and we loved watching the play!

The last pics are from the most recent field trip... Aidan's trip to the fire station. He was in awe of the firemen and listened quietly. (that's huge for him) He climbed up to sit in the driver's seat, and even got to spray the water! SO cute. I think the field trips are over for the year, and I'm kind of sad!

happy spring

I have been driving around town amazed by the sights... the blossoms, the snow on the mountains, the GREEN everywhere, and the big, puffy clouds! Fresno is seriously beautiful this year, thanks to all the rain we've received. I've been dying to go out and take a few pictures, so we took an hour after church to do just that. The kids grumbled a little when I told them the good news, but when I heard all the oohs and ahs, I knew they were happy they had gone. Everywhere we looked there was beauty... it'll all be gone soon, so take the time to go check out spring wherever you are.
