Spring Break In Waco

Do you ever feel like you are missing out if you don’t do SOMETHING for Spring Break? I do. So, Ashley (my sis-in-law) and I decided to pack up our kids and head to Papa and Granna’s for the week! (Granna was on Spring Break too with her school!)

 

Sav still sporting her steri strips from that mean ole pillar that jumped right out in front of her the other week (heh, heh). I swear I’m going to pad this girl up in bubble wrap.

 

 

Drew and that big smile

 

 

Little E having fun riding the tricycles

 

 

And no trip to Papa and Granna’s would be complete without an outting to Kiddieland! (yes, former-Waco peeps, it still exists!) Ben, Carter and Ashley

 

 

Ethan and Andrew enjoying the choo choo

 

 

Weeeeeee!

 

 

Ethan in his red rocket

 

 

Cousin Carter in the boats

 

 

Why does Ben always look so grown up in pictures? My precious little man.

 

 

I’m guessing Ethan chose this vehicle due to the awesome GREEN flames… any bets?

 

 

Sweet Sawyer and Granna…don’t worry lil buddy, you’ll be out there playing with your cousins in no time! Little angel.

 

 

Uhh….yikes, Sav! Lol. Savannah and Andrew

 

 

Best buds: Carter and Benny

 

 

A group photo…(that took about 20 attempts and 5 minutes of torture to try to capture, hehe). Ethan, Sawyer, Carter, Ben, Sav, Drew

 

This was actually a special night, because we randomly ran into my best friend, Adriane (who lives out of town as well), from childhood and all of her family at Kiddieland…the place where Ade and I had plenty of birthday parties. It was just surreal to be there with OUR children this time. SO NEAT.

 

 

Baths and time for bed! Yeah right….how long do you think THIS will last? Ben, Carter, Ethan, Andrew

 

 

Not long. But hey, at least we gave it a try…after about 30 minutes we gave in the towel and had to split up the rambunctious boys! haha.

And I just LOVE this picture of Sav and Drew…melt my heart.

(Btw~ the pillow is wet from their freshly bathed hair…at first I couldn’t figure it out and I was like, ewwww…drool/sweat! but its not)

 

 

I seriously have an obsession with sleeping kid pictures---they look so sweet and innocent…not talking back to Mama or giving her grief. Ahhhhh…..Lovely.  Ben and Ethan.

 

 

 

Back to riding tricycles…man, after visiting my parents house, I desperately want to lay a HUGE slab of concrete in our backyard! We had to practically drag the children in for food and such. it was so great. Drew in blue.

 

 

Carter---just so you know, this kid is like a bajillion times more athletic than any of his older cousins. Kid is amazing.

 

 

Trouble with a capital T.

 

 

My buddy, Reynolds and I were actually able to meet up with the kids! It has been forever. Ethan, Ben, Reynolds, Drew, Sav

 

 

Good timing it in the Baskin Robbins parking lot

 

 

The kids loved Reynolds and all of his magic!

 

And that was it for our Waco trip! Had a blast!!!

Did you guys do anything fun for Spring Break? Maybe a stay-cation? I think I’m going to be one of those crazy Moms who drags her family out of town on a vacation every year in the spring.

 

Yup.

I am.
