Spring Vacation

We have been busy this last week doing fun things. Chris took Monday and Tuesday off to hang out with us during Spring Vacation. We ended up not going to Mount Saint Helens since the roads are still closed. (Who would have thought there was still snow up in the mountains.) We did go hiking at Sol Duc falls (didn't get to the falls since the road was closed 2 miles before the head of the trail because of snow). We tried to hike in but it was too long for the boys to do when we said we were only going on a 1 1/2 mile hike. It was fun to be outdoors and smell the trees. We also touched our first snow of the season.

*The next day the boys went and saw The Lightening Thief; which they said was really good. Thomas liked the book better then the movie and Henry liked the movie better then the book. Lizzy and I went shopping in Silverdale and finally got my dress for the wedding. YEAH!!!!!

*The boys went and made some fused glassed projects. Can't wait to see how they turned out.

*Made bird biscuts; didn't turn out so well

*went swimming at the indoor pool. It was Lizzy's first time in a pool. She loved it.

*Made bean bags out of balloons and beans. They turned out great. Now I have bombs in the house again.

*Went to a bird show and learned about the Red hawk, two different type of owls, and so forth. We learned a lot. It was fun.

*Tiny finished plastering my walls. Now, I am deciding on what color green to paint with.

* We also got our raised garden boxes almost done. With all the digging that has been done in my garden I am amazed the boys did not found a cement slap about 1 foot around and 18 inches deep. So we are deciding what to do with it. It is much to big for us to lift out. It will probably stay there til Chris can lift and hammer the cement out.

*On Monday morning right before school, Thomas asked how much longer he had before summer vacation. That is the hardest thing about Spring Vacation, you just get a taste of what summer will be like.
