Bike ride

The kids have been out on spring break this last week so we decided to take our bikes to Jekyll Island and go for a long bike ride along the beach and marsh. We stopped at driftwood beach and the kids had fun playing on the trees. This is Zach with his new helmet he picked out and then my camera died so I couldn't get any pics of the girls....next time.

Toothless

Kenzie just lost her 3rd tooth in a row in the last month and she is only 5

Strep Throat

Strep throat has been going around Kenzies class for the last 3 weeks, it finally got to her last night. Thank goodness we made it to immediate care 2 mins before they closed so that we could get her started on drugs. Last time she got it we had to take her to the ER becuz her tonsils were so big they were closing off her throat and she couldn't breath, so we didn't mess around this time. The Dr. took one look and says yep thats most defiantly Strep. But the funniest part as to why I am blogging is: the Dr. said "now this is highly contagist make sure you keep her away from people for 2 days. " Now how do I keep her away from 2 other siblings and 2 parents? Maybe they need a place to send sick kids till they are not contagious. The other funny part, she was snoring so loud last night becuz her tonsils were still huge, that she sounded like an old man. I wish I had video taped it..maybe tonight.

Snow day

Since we didn't join Byron in Park City we decided to drive 6.5 hrs each way to the closest snow. After 13hrs of driving the kids only tubed for 1 hr (after us pleading with them to just do it one more time) and played in the snow building snowmen and having a snowball fight for another half hour. As you can see it was a beautiful day and we didn't even need heavy coats. We did have to hike up a hill that the kids got tired of and after about 4 runs Zach had enough and just wanted to sit on the sidelines. Kenzie seemed to have the most fun. Boy was I glad we didn't fly to Park City for only 2hrs of fun!

Park city and Jenson's Visit

Byron got to go to Park City for 3 days with a work trip while my parents came to visit. While Byron had a blast skiing and eating good food and seeing Avatar at an Imax with his family. We made lots of treats and did lots of crafts.

Magic kingdom

We got free tickets to Magic Kingdom by volunteering. It was a crazy day. We drove down first thing in the morning. Got there at about 10:30, the park was more crowded than we thought for being the middle of Jan. Didn't take many pictures because we have been there so many times. We did this mostly for Zach, who was free and we have decided we are done with Magic Kingdom and moving on to water parks. My favorite ride splash mountain was closed so that was a bummer. Then we left at about 7pm stopped at wendys and got something to eat and got home around midnight. Everybody was exhasted by 7pm (thanks to no nap and waking up early) and ready to go home. Good thing we only paid for 1 kids ticket!
