Spring Break 2017: Part 2- Staycation

Anything that ends like this sure had to be good!

After we got back from our little trip to Glen Rose, Texas, we still had a helluva lot of Spring Break left to rock and roll and relax!

So we spent some hours hanging out at the playground,,,

and enjoying the crisp spring weather...

 ...and putting the "spring" in Spring Break.

There were sleep overs with Baba and Yaya, where new skills were learned, high fives exchanged, and tickly secrets were shared:

There was Shabbat with Mimi and Pops:

Self-portraits... 

... art work...

"aidan pichir" - spelling and drawing by Julia

...and some yard work/ hard work!

Playing at home... 

Bike rides...

Hanging out...

Legos...

...and a very tasty last-night of Spring Break Donut run!

A sweet ending, for a really sweet Spring Break!

Gardening on a warm January day

Sometimes you appreciate the great outdoors the most when you can't access it. Such is the case of "winter." Now, we can't complain too much: we're pretty spoiled as far as winter is concerned. Other parts of our country are covered in 6 feet of snow! And Waterfalls are freezing! It's been a crazy winter...but not too crazy in Dallas. Still though, a few weeks of really cold weather and rain and clouds can make you really long to sit in a pile of dirt and just shovel.

 

So, when the sun came out, Aidan, your pants came off, and Julia you followed him out to the garden to eat some fresh broccoli, dig some fresh dirt, find some tiny snails, play chase, and have a sun-kissed lovely afternoon.
