Spring Break - Day 1

Thank goodness Day 1 is a Sunday. We are all in need of rest. And it is Easter Sunday. The kids were told the night before that they could not turn on the TVs until after 8 am. My hope was that they would sleep until then. The girls did great about sleeping. Austin was probably up with the sun. When I came out to make breakfast, he was excited that the Easter Bunny had found them and come in the night. There was all kinds of candy on the table.

We started the day with breakfast casserole (our favorite). As I made that, everyone else got ready for church. We were lucky enough to be staying close to one of my high school friends, Melanie. So we went to her ward. What fun that was to see her and her parents. We talked about things we used to do and how Allynn is the age we were when we met. Sometimes I still feel like that 16 year old gathering friends to go drive around Almaden. More so lately since Allynn is already starting to talk about "When I can drive..." She is counting down the days until she can get her permit.

Anyways, after chatting with Melanie for a little bit, we decided to all go to the beach together on Monday. The weather is supposed to get rainy as the week goes on, so now we will be sure to have one great day for the beach. If we get anymore, that will be a bonus. I am looking forward to going to the beach tomorrow. The kids are dreading the waves and salt water.

In the afternoon, the resort had a HUGE egg hunt. Sydney, Austin, and Kelsey went with Mema to see how many they could find. They probably came back with over 100 plastic eggs filled with different candies. Then we had a lovely dinner of country style pork ribs and then spent the evening watching The Muppets and Inception. It was a really relaxing day.
