When I was in school I looked forward to spring break, now, not so much. Before Connor was born it wasn't so bad, but toting a newly walking toddler to places kae thinks are fun is HARD.
Monday - library trip, morning story time and checked out science stuff. Made a trip to the dollar store for supplies. Kaeley learned about acids and bases, played with vinegar and baking soda, used her microscope for hours, and watched a billion episodes of Bill Nye The Science Guy!
Monday night grandma came and got kaeley for a slumber party with her cousins. Didn't see her again until Tuesday night! (Hurray)
Wednesday - more science experiments, more microscope. Lunch out at chick fil a (they have an indoor play place!) then mommy ran away for knitting group.
Thursday - trekked up to Stuart to spend the day with Auntie Gail and the kidlettes, which was (as always) exhausting!
Friday - (today) went to the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary in Jupiter. It was kind of a Pita to find! And then there was no parking. But we had fun. Kae got to see the animals, foxes, birds, a panther, bears(!), and a bald eagle. Connor got to be outside which always makes him happy.
After nap time I pulled out a project from my keep the brats busy board. An ice block full of toys with little hammers to liberate them. It was hot enough to be fun. They beat on the thing for about 40 minutes before kae noticed the hammers were breaking to toys (Dinos and lizards from dollar tree). We ended up dumping the block in the water table to finish. Next time squirt guns and spray bottles.
We still have - flying a kite (2 for $1 @ dollar tree), the park, and either a nature hike at JD state park or a trip to the zoo. We had to hold off on the big trip until the weekend so Daddy could come.
