The week of March 16th- Spring Break 2015

On Monday, March 16th, we drove down to Victoria to attend my father's retirement party.  It was also his birthday.  The drive is just under 2 hours and the kids did pretty good.  We made it to the retirement party in time to enjoy the food and festivities.  My dad was excited to see us there. The kids loved drawing pictures on the dry erase board.  We stayed the night at my parent's house and then drove to Corpus Christi on Tuesday to enjoy the beach.  We saw 3 dolphins swimming very close to the beach!  We ate at Joe's Crab shack and played at a nearby park.  We drove back to Victoria later that day.   On Wednesday, we ate lunch at the kids' favorite restaurant, China B.  Then we started on the road back to Houston.  The kids slept in the car ride back so when we showed up at our apartment, I was now ready to take a nap.  Poor Mimi had to stay up and watch the kids so she didn't get a nap that day.  

On Thursday, we saw the Cinderella movie at Memorial City mall with Hattie.  Going to the movies is always a treat!

On Friday, we went to the Children's Museum.  Matthew and Audrey LOVED it!  It was crowded because of spring break but they didn't care.  Audrey jumped on the trampoline and Matthew did the hampster wheel/ball.  The kids also enjoyed the grocery store, vet, and restaurant where they pretended to earn a paycheck and "work".  We were exhausted after a full day at the museum and took a quick dip in our apartment pool.  The water was freezing so we didn't stay in it too long but it felt great in the heat.  We usually go to an indoor pool on Friday nights and I didn't feel like going so this was the next best thing.

We went to the park on Saturday for a bike ride.  And we enjoyed dinner at Kennedy's house on Sunday.  Mimi caught an early flight Monday morning.  It turned out to be a fun spring break despite the rainy weather.
