Spring break 2015

Since I started a new job in February, taking a family trip for Spring break was out.  Luckily, my parents are retired and asked if they could take the kids for the week.  My parents live out in the country and the kids had a great week living the country life.  They could go outside and play to their hearts content without worry of strangers or cars.  Ella Catherine has finally gotten the hang of riding a bike and she rode and rode all week.  She is training for a run April 25th and her, Carter and my parents dog Sadie would run on the country road while my parents followed in the golf cart.  They played soccer, had picnics and went for rides in the golf cart.  They got their fill of wildlife by fishing and going Turkey calling with my dad.  They had arts and crafts time, dyed Easter eggs and made Easter cookies.  They even managed to fit in a surprise visit to my grandmother. Who needs Spring Break Camp?
