We had a wonderful spring break! To start off the fun week we went to a fun kid place called Makuto's Island with the Brown family. Tristan compared this place to Disneyland so it's high up on his list now for sure! The slides were really high, steep, and some of them dark. The kids had a blast but I had to face some of my biggest fears...like crawling through a tiny clear tunnel that's 30 feet above the ground. Gavin is our little climber and I had to follow him everywhere, praying that they kept adults in mind while building these structures. :) All in all, we loved it and will definitely be going back!
I think the big aquarium was Gavin's favorite.
On Friday afternoon we decided to go to the Pump It Up open gym. I had been talking about it with the boys all morning and they were so excited to go. We get there and find out that there's no open gym. Dang it. How do you explain to a 5 year old and 2 year old that mommy messed up and read the wrong dates on the email? Quint came to the rescue with a genius idea to go to Funtasticks instead and let Tristan ride the go-karts! It was hilarious watching our little Lightning McQueen try and figure out the car. It took a few laps but he got it down and loved it. I think Gavin had just as much fun watching Tristan and cheering him on!
Our friends Jared and Cortnie invited us to go with them and the Esplin family to the drag races! It was crazy! We watched cars only 20 feet away zoom past us going 250 mph, racing down a small strip of road. It was awesome! Tristan's favorite was a semi truck called Shock Wave that went 300 mph right in front of us. I really thought it would scare him but he said it was "so cool"! Unfortunately I forgot my camera in the car so I didn't get any pictures of the fun night. But here is Tristan on the way home holding up a poster of Shock Wave signed by the driver.
To end this fun week we went to Josh and Elaine's house on Sunday night. The kids had fun playing together and Elaine made us Green Chile! Oh my it was yummy!! I've been thinking about that meal ever since. :)
It was a great Spring Break!
