Spring Break ~ April 6-9th

For Spring Break, we went to Escondido and stayed at the Lawrence Welk Resort.  They had a great pool with a slide, which the kids really enjoyed on Monday and Tuesday.  Tuesday we also went to Bates Nut Farm - we were looking for a place that had horses for Kylee to see.  They had farm animals, but no horses - Kylee will just have to wait for her next lessons.

On Wednesday, we went to see the USS Midway in San Diego, a retired air craft carrier.  This was very cool for us all.  It is amazing to see how these military men lived on an air craft carrier - I have so much respect for them, I could never do it.  We went on deck and saw all sorts of planes and helicopters, and took a little tour of the "Island" on deck - this is like the air traffic control tower.  It was a very cool experience.

Wednesday night, we saw a Family Comedy & Magic show at the Lawrence Welk Theatre on our Resort property.  The kids liked the Magic show best - some of the comedy went over their little heads....

Thursday, we headed home - but first stopped at Legoland for a fun filled day with Scott's cousin Wendi and her girls Nina & Anna.  We had such a fun time - the first visit for Scott, Shane & I (and Kylee had only been once when she was about 2).  It was a great day, especially to be with cousins that the kids don't get too see all the time.  Thanks Wendi for a wonderful time!
