Spring Break 2016

Spring Break 2016 was half stay-cation and half beach trip.

Jude's school kicked off the break with a precious Easter Chapel followed by a class Easter party. 

We stayed close to home for the start of the break and had several pajama days. The boys and I spent a lot of our time playing with and organizing some Legos.

Later in the week, I packed up and loaded up the four boys to head to paradise...or so we thought. The weather did not want to play nice, but that didn't stop the boys from having fun. Within minutes of pulling in, they had shovels and buckets and were playing under the house. 

When the weather wouldn't cooperate, they made do playing inside or under the house. 

Whenever there was a pause in the rain, the boys and I would hurry down to play in the sand and water for as long as we could. 

The sun tried hard to come out several times, but the clouds won in the end. 

Sweet Theo-boy loved the sand...at first....
It is all fun and games until you eat sand!

I almost threw in the towel and headed back to town since it was not looking good weather-wise for the weekend, but we decided to tough it out and Daddy came down to join us. Rainy days at the beach are always better than rainy days at home, right? 

Well, thank goodness we decided to stay because the weather man was WRONG and it turned out to be the GORGEOUS. 

So glad we didn't bail. It was even warm enough for ice cream...

...and nice enough for some fishing. It was so much fun that no one cared that the fish weren't biting.

 

 

 Beach naps FTW!

Always so sad to have the weather turn nice when it is time to go home. The boys soaked up every last minute they could....playing until the sun went down....building epic sand castles and volcanos. 

 

As the boys would say....Spring Break 2016 was EPIC! A hands-down success.
