We started planning Spring Break a couple of months ago. Bill asked for the week off. Bill and I planned to take the kids to Williamsburg and James town. We presented this idea to the kids and they weren't to keen on more history. What they wanted to do was go camping. ( I wasn't to keen on the idea of sleeping on the ground for a week) So after much deliberation we came up with a plan: a couple of days of camping, a couple of days working on the yard, and a couple of days in the city seeing some of the things we haven't visited. It still would be super great to be all together doing some cool things. Well, put the breaks on that a week ago Bill's boss changed jobs and Bill gets to fill in for him for the next five weeks. He was able to scratch from that half of Monday and all of Tuesday so that we could do something together. We hope to keep with the idea of a big spring break even if its up to me to keep the excitement going. After the kids got home and I did a visit, we were off to the park. It was beautiful weather sunny, not too warm, and no rain in site. We wanted to try out the new kites Bill bought a while ago. We didn't have much luck getting them up in the sky but the kids sure tried hard. I'm not sure if we didn't have enough wind or the new kites were just harder to work. These kites take two lines to fly and we just couldn't get the hang of them. There was a cute little boy there flying his kite and he was able to get it up by running.
The boys also tried out some Styrofoam airplanes we had purchased. The first one broke the first flight. Then Willy kept trying over and over again with the other one until the nose of the plane finally broke off. Emily got pretty frustrated. Jessica enjoyed it until she wanted to just lie down on the grass. Lydia wouldn't stop talking the whole time. Austin had a great time rolling down the hill. I enjoyed seeing it all unravel.
