Spring Break 2021

While many things are still closed, requiring us to change the way we play, this spring break was at least better than the last one. Weather-wise and attitude-wise. Partially because I had some time to prepare for some corona-friendly activities. 

We did lots of fun and silly things inside, like put food coloring into bubble mix and then paint by blowing bubbles at the paper.

Messy, but fun. 

We set up an obstacle course in the hallway. The kiddos pretended they were theives.

They had to sneak through without touching anything, grab a toy from the boys' bedroom, and then sneak back. I'm not sure they'd make very good thieves, to be honest. Too much giggling.

I buried some dinosaurs in Jello, which the kids got to excavate out,

and eat, obviously.

We set up our own bowling lane, 

Since all the bowling alleys are closed at the moment.

We read more than 1,000 minutes over spring break, too. Go team!

We also got outside.

We attempted this little hike, although we didn't make it much further before the ice made us turn back.
We played and practiced riding bikes at the church parking lot.

Calista's an expert, 

but Craig is a little hesitant still. 

I pre-booked a time to go to the zoo, 

And we got to see some of the cats up close, 

As well as the big horn sheep,

Which was pretty cool.

The boys' favorite parts was probably still just playing.

They love to climb.

My favorite part was just getting out of the house as a family.

And, of course, since the playgrounds are thankfully not closed this year, 

We got to swing,

hang,

dig, 

and shoot rockets into the sky.

All in all, a pretty good spring break. I'm still hoping we can go to the library next year, though...
