We began Spring break by going to the Clay County Fair with the Kelly family. Jack and Emma loved seeing all of the animals. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperated so we couldn’t stay long and do the rides. Jack made the best of it and had fun stomping in the puddles and getting “soakin’ wet!”
We spent several days at the beach. First we went with my friend, Ashley and her two kids, Ella and Riley. Jack had a blast jumping the waves with the kids. Lucy entertained herself by eating sand and putting sand toys in her mouth.
We also met Aunt Linda at the beach one day. She got some much needed quality time with Jack and Lucy. It was fun watching her try to put a bathing suit on Lucy. Jack loves to spend time with “Aunt Winda” and this day was no exception.
Oh, did I mention…. WE GOT A NEW CAR! Well, actually a mini van. You may know that I have wanted a mini van for years. Even before we had kids I wanted one. Mike finally gave in to my nagging and picked out this beauty! Jack has fondly named it the “Vanny Van”. Perk: Now the Davises and Kellys don’t have to take separate cars.
To celebrate the new Vanny Van we went out for Japanese with the Kellys. This was Jack’s first time sitting at the hibachi grill tables. He had a blast, but the first time the guy lit the food on fire Lucy cried and didn’t enjoy the experience from then on.
On days we weren’t at the beach we brought out the kid pool or slip ‘n slide and enjoyed time with the neighbors.

Easter
We had a lovely Easter. The posse on our street had a pot luck dinner and egg hunt for the kids.
Bryson, Summer, Emma, and Jack are ready to hunt!
Even Charlie found some eggs!
Look at those pretty cupcakes!! Summer and Emma couldn’t wait to eat one.

“twas the night before Easter and we put out two empty baskets…
And when we awoke they were filled!
Jack and Lucy played for a bit with their treasures, but we had to get ready for church so we could celebrate the most important part of Easter.
After church we went had a delicious lunch with Mimi, Poppie, and Uncle Josh.
When we got home everyone was pretty tired. We hung out on the lawn and finished our spring break with some sunshine time with friends.
