Spring Break

We enjoyed a week off from school to do some fun things for spring break. We went to the Naples children's museum, C'mon, for and afternoon of learning and exploration, we caught bugs in the backyard, and went to a neighborhood party at the park to celebrate St. Paddy's Day. Harrison partook in his normal activities of karate and tennis and we squeezed in a few play dates, so we had a pretty jam packed week of spring break excitement. I'd like to say that with all this activity, naps were also part of the program, but sadly, even Brooks had decided that naps must be eliminated completely. My next big investment may have to be horse tranquilizers just so that I can get some rest and a second or two to myself but for right now, we'll carry on in our usual insane style of all action, no rest.

St. Jude's Trikathon

Harrison and Brooks hit the pavement on their bikes for a great cause. Harrison rocked it without training wheels while Brooks took to the idea of slow and steady wins the race. Both did great!

Botanical Gardens Field Trip

A few weeks ago, Harrison and Brooks both had a class field trip to the Botanical Gardens. It is such a fun learning experience there for kids and there is so much to explore. I got to go along and help with both of their classes but their teachers are very good at keeping most everyone in control. The kids learned about growing vegetables, walked through the butterfly garden, and also had a scavenger hunt. The weather was very warm but the kids enjoyed their adventure.
