Break

In the days leading up to Spring Break, I kept telling Clark that we were going to have a 9 day weekend. Tonight as we recapped our fun and talked about what we liked the most, Clark said it only felt like an 8 day weekend. I guess he could use one more day... couldn't we all! The second half of spring break was super fun. On Wednesday we spent hours at Mt. Playmore jumping, running around, and playing video games. Clark had recently been there for a field trip and had a great time, but they couldn't play the arcade games and he really wanted to so we got a 2-hour unlimited pass and enjoyed every minute out of it.


Thursday we spent the day in Lakeway exploring a park we'd never been to, having lunch at a restaurant we'd never been to, going to a library we'd never been to, and having ice cream at this amazing new place we'd never even heard of. Fruity Pebbles ice cream FTW!


Friday we were off to the Thinkery. Clark didn't think he'd ever been there before (he had). It was pretty crowded but we arrived early and found some quiet corners to explore.


Lunch was high tea, a tradition for me and Aurora but new to Clark. If you can believe it, he overdosed on sweets and doesn't think he needs to go back again!


That evening we rode bikes and had pizza with friends, then Saturday night Aurora accompanied me to a co-worker's wedding at the Wildflower Center. It was lovely and she was the perfect date.


Today we had lunch at the Lake Park with friends, did our food shopping and laundry and enjoyed our last relaxing afternoon of this very long weekend. I love taking Spring Break off with the kiddos and we all needed the break to unplug, rest, adventure, and play together. We did get a little bit of time with Chuck as well, but he had a busy week at work so I guess he'll have to recharge and take a break on his own time.
