Spring Break is coming to a close with weather more like early winter. Despite the weather, we've still had some fun this week and today we're just taking it easy, watching Animal Planet, doing laundry, and getting ready to head back to school on Monday. We've lived in this area for about 8 years now and we're still discovering new things to do. On Monday we went for an hour hike at a resevoir and nature area just miles away. The boys love hiking. Even though the hikes here don't compare to WV, it's still a way to get out and get some fresh air. I took the group pic of us using my new tri-pod stand with bendable legs. We just wrapped it right around a tree - pretty cool!
We visited a local bug "museum" which is alwasy a hit. This is the same place where I ate a cookie topped with a cricket in the fall to impress the boys. Bet there's not many other kids out there that can brag their mom ate a cricket... LOL. Only moms of boys will understand this...
We also made a trip to the science museum where we tried a lot of interesting hands-on displays, watched rats play basketball, and watched a beautiful IMAX movie about coral reefs.
We also started our seeds inside and have quite a variety. Blake is excited about the possiblity of carrots and Luke picked out his favorite - tomatoes. We're going to shoot for containers as this VA soil is just brutal! Red clay! Ugh! We'll have to import some rich, dark soil from WV! Wish us luck on this project!
