Spring Break 2013

Who was ready for Spring Break?  Everyone...
Ella was thrilled to have brothers home all week


We tried something new this year.  Wanted to get more pictures, but life just gets busy and I forget.  
We got a mason jar and put $100 cash in it.  We talked during FHE that week that we had this money to use during spring break.  The boys planned and planned how they were going to spend that money.  They asked lots of questions and were surprised about how much things cost.  Miles had a FIT when we wanted to go to the Zoo and it would cost HALF our money.  

We did LOTS of free things....
Macey's Park  (Treat at Costco for $2.50)
Mini Golf with Pass of All Passes 


 Ella was very content to hold a ball the whole time
"BALL" was her first word that happened this week!

We spent most of our money eating out....we like to do that apparently....
JCWs (BIG treat that is so expensive we normally don't go) $37

One of my favorite shots of spring break...
Miles is trying to give Ella some ice cream...
apparently she wasn't being patient enough for him.


 We also ate at Pizza Factory $25
and then went to Cal Ranch to see the baby chicks...the boys love that!

Hmmmm....guess we did end up with $40 left....which means we could've almost gone to the Zoo...but Mom was done doing adventures! ha!
I'll organize that one better next year!  It was fun to teach the boys about money and see them think through what was worth it!

Yeah, we are pooped!


Miles' note to his brothers and Dad:
Spring break also means BALL GAMES
baseball and basketball!
He wanted everyone to know that his team is AHEAD!
