This year we're trying to keep our Spring Break a little more low key than last year's half-way around the world in 7 days trip. I think we'll all be happier that way and much less sleep deprived :). But since we've been keeping such busy schedules with work and school(s) and activities, I knew the boys would be going stir crazy if we just stayed around the house so I planned 1 little outing for each day. Saturday we woke up bright and early (okay so we do this everyday, but whatever) and walked half a block to 21st South where we watched and cheered for several of our friends as they ran the Salt Lake City Marathon. Then we all went and had breakfast at McDonalds. Yep, we're THOSE people! It was actually really neat to watch the race and though you can't see it from the picture very well, 21st South slopes downhill and we had an amazing view of thousands of people as they ran. The highlight was Isaac surprising my visiting teacher whom he LOVES and watching her laugh and wave at him as he tried to enter the race to get to "shishter Glowsher".
Later that day we went to cheer on Ethan's soccer team the "Sharks" which actually is Taylor's team now too since he's taken over coaching and reffing duties for the other coach who has a 3 month old and 3 older kids and a husband in medical school residence- yep we thought she deserved some help.
Taylor's actually really cute with the kids- cheering them on and helping them get where they need to be. It's especially cute to see him tease the one little girl on their team "I promise, you run faster if you smile too."
The kids are getting better at dribbling and following the flow of the ball and it's fun to be with the same group of parents on the sidelines.
A good first day of Spring Break.
Sunday's adventure you ask? A trip to church! Isn't that ENOUGH of an adventure for any parent of 3 kids under 6! Thankfully Miles is finally fully 18 months and can legally be left in the nursery- this is when I break out into the Hallelujah chorus. Darn, it's just a blog so you missed that didn't you.
