Spring Break

I am finally writing about our Spring Break.

A friend of mine and our kids went over to Long Beach for a few days during the break. We had a good time. If Katie wasn't at such a difficult age, I would have enjoyed the trip more. Oh, well. She won't be this young forever. :)



The kids enjoyed chasing the birds on the beach. Ky was the only one crazy enough to get wet. It was cold! We did find a huge log that had washed up onto the beach. It had some pretty cool "living things" on it. Braedon had fun playing catch for a little bit. We brought our football with us.





We took the kids to the pool at the place we were staying at. Kate didn't like it at all, but she did enjoy playing in the water while we were at an old WWII fort though. She parked it in front of a puddle and SCREAMED if I took her away from it. She would immediately go right back. I finally gave up and took some pictures of her. Oh, the battles!


My boys LOVED the WWII forts the most. They had a great time playing games in there. We went to two of them. I enjoyed taking pictures. :) I just wish I had a reflector so their eyes didn't look so "dead".

We also stopped by Cape Disappointment on the way home. What a funny name. We were seriously disappointed when we found out we couldn't go to the top of the lighthouse like you can with some of the others in the area. :(

Twelve Waffles....

The other day Cammie and I were about 40 minutes away from home. Cammie was complaining about how long it would take to get home. "Mom! We are so far from home! We are twelve waffles!" I was really confused by the waffles part, so I asked her what she thought waffles were. She said in a very "duh" kind of voice, "Food!" I have had kids get confused and say things like, "I am 12 pounds tall" or "It's going to take me 2,000 years to get there," but I have never had any of my kids use food to measure things. Anyway, the next day when our entire family was in the car, I was sharing with everyone what Cammie had said. Then Brae said, "Mom! It's from the movie Bolt!" So there you go! If you have no clue what you kid is saying or why, ask them if they saw it on TV!
