Spring Break 2012

(I took a whole week off from blogging and now you have to suffer through 4,538 pictures.  Or maybe, 16.)

Spring break week turned out to not be as fun as we expected.

~

We did spend one fun day with Grandma and the cousins at a local farm.

We looked at the animals, then commandeered a couple of picnic benches for lunch.  The kids played while we discussed the mysteries of the universe.  Several hours later we were sunburned, and almost out of subjects to discuss. (yeah, right.)

Our next big plan was to pack bags and head to the other Grandma's house for several days of fun and the annual Easter Picnic.

Shortly after packing the bags, Rachel came down with a fever, so we decided to wait until the next day to travel.

By the next day, she still had a fever and I joined her in bed, so we decided to wait until the next day to travel.

By the third day the boys in our household were fed up with our sickly ways and they headed out for a fun "boys day" at the airplane museum. They all came home very thrilled.

(I was happy that I didn't have to go look at airplanes, sick or not!)

By the fourth day, it became apparent that we were going to miss the annual Easter Picnic.

A sad occasion for us, we have hardly ever missed it over the years.

We compromised by having our own little Easter egg hunt in our backyard.

Oh yes, I grew Easter (wheat) grass again this year.

Look how awesome it turned out!

I figure, it's symbolic of our Spring Break/Easter week this year.

Just to finish off the week in style, Aaron and Thomas woke up Sunday feeling sick too.

Anyone want to come over to our house to breathe the fresh air and lick a doorknob or two?

Whimps.
