Spring Break!

  I love spring break! It's so fun to have the kids home from school and the weather is usually so nice. It seems like my kids always manage to get sick over the break, although this year I was really hopeful everyone would be healthy since we had spent the last 6 weeks with various colds and flu. We actually ended up mostly well, except for the awful case of pink eye that went ravaging through the family. I guess you can't win them all...
  We did our best to have fun, without going anywhere! We had two different scout service projects Ethan worked on. We had a campfire in our back yard. We went hiking and playing in the river at box canyon. I told them we could do one activity that cost money, the rest would be fun free things. They decided among themselves to go to Jump Street, which is a giant indoor trampoline place. It was really fun and worth the money. I have paid a lot before are these bouncy house places that end up being a rip off. This was much better. The kids had so much fun there. I think we'll have to go back in the summer time.
  We were all sad when the break was over, we had such a good time. I'm already looking forward to the next one :)
