video

A few video clips from arts fest, swim meet finals, and piano recital.







This week

We had a busy week with kid events, but Meg and I managed to squeeze in a hike (second of the spring since the snow took forever to melt).
This weekend we had a swim meet Friday night, LT took a drone test Saturday morning, Ads had an interview for a job (he got it!), B had a 4 hour playdate, we had lunch with B's friend, the younger two had a piano recital, LT had another swim meet Saturday afternoon (he qualified for finals!), two soccer games that luckily were both canceled, gymnastics, LT worked, Ads went bowling with a friend and LT had college counseling :)  It was a busy one to say the least!

Annual Easter with the Family

For many years, my mom has made easter very special for these kids.  There's a hunt for their gifts (each color coded), opening of gifts and then the best part is the food.  Each kid opens up a "store" where they sell a part of lunch.  We all go and order our drinks, sides, dessert, main course.  We each have a bag of money to use and the kids keep the profit.  They LOVE this (and honestly the adults do too).












 

Last MS dance for A

Ads and his friends had a pre party (parents also) before their last dance of middle school.

Mexico- Easter/last day

The resort we stay at is always so much fun, but on Easter it was extra special.  The kids decorated easter eggs, got their faces painted, went on an easter egg hunt and then there was a surprise synchronized swimming show which was just incredible.

Mexico Day 5

We went on another private adventure day, this time to 3 cenotes and to swim with turtles.  Its difficult to take photos while on these adventures, but it was a very memorable day.


This lagoon (only called it that because its a VERY large cenote), has crystal clear water.  We ziplined over it in various directions 3 times before having to canoe back to the start. 











And after the cenote tour, we left the kids in the room to order room service and the 4 of us went to dinner.  And of course we were seranated.
