Spring Break 2010 - Charleston

Ken's dad had knee surgery the during the beginning of Karlee's Spring Break so we decided to just go somewhere close for the end of the week and Ken picked Charleston. We had a blast! There were tons of things to do with kids - we didn't even have time to do them all. We did visit the Children's Museum of the Lowcountry . . .
after the museum we had a yummy snack at Cupcake - Red Velvet for Karlee, Chocolate for the twins, Vanilla for Kendall and Praline for me. YUMMY!!!!
We visited the South Carolina Aquarium . . . and rode out to the beach at Folly Island.
We had a great trip and I would definitely recommend it as a trip to take with the kiddos!

"Cows in the Kitchen"

Karlee has been waiting for several weeks for the Kindergarten Barn Dance. She has been practicing her songs, especially "Tom Farmer", so much that Kendall has learned them. The day finally arrived and I think that Kendall was just as excited as Karlee. We enjoyed the songs and especially the dancing. The kids were beside themselves when the parents had to dance. Then we got to have breakfast with Karlee and her classmates. Lots of fun!!

Kami's New Smile!

Kami fell yesterday and hit her mouth, chipping her tooth. We took her to the dentist but they can't do anything until she is at least two - so she will have a "new" smile for a while!

Easter

Zaxby's Easter Briar Patch

Zaxby's hosted a little fundraiser for several schools in the area - one was Karlee's - so we went for a while tonight. Kendall had a blast snacking on popcorn, cotton candy, skittles and "little sandwiches (Nibblers)". Karlee liked playing the bean bag toss to win chances to spin the prize wheel. The twins had fun just running around. We called Uncle Scott and Shanna (since he works for Zaxby's) to come out with us, so it was fun to spend some time with them.

Egg Hunt Gather

What a fun, exciting weekend we had. We started out Friday night with a Sunday school class social - Game Night. We were so excited to get to have our game night in the youth area of our new church. It is so cool - indoor basketball court, huge TVs, Wii, ping pong. We had a good time just hanging out and getting to visit with everyone. Before the social, we had a quick (but delicious) dinner at the Georgia Club. I had the chef's sliders - beef tenderloin with blue cheese pesto and Ken had fish and chips - YUMMY!

We started Saturday off with breakfast at The Big Easy, a little restaurant in Watkinsville that serves up some really good food New Orleans style. Kourtney loved the cheese grits with bacon, Kamryn only wanted to eat fruit and Karlee and Kendall had peanut butter toast. We stopped to see Papa for a second and then headed out to a big Easter Egg Hunt. We called Kerry to come with us. We met some friends there and the older girls rode some ponies . . .

and hunted some eggs. Actually, they gathered the eggs, there was no need to hunt. They were just spread out in a big field.

We spent the afternoon hanging out at the "cabin" on the farm - the girls loved playing outside on the playset and just enjoying the warmer weather. Karlee spent the afternoon eating popcorn and Skittles, drinking Coke and watching How to Train Your Dragon with a friend and her dad. We ended the night at Supper Club. It was a great night of fun and good food. Heather channeled her inner Food Network chef and made a delicious meal.

We finished the weekend off with a special Palm Sunday service including special music, drama and the Lord's Supper.
Now time to rest and get ready for another big Easter week ahead.
