Spring Break this year, the boys went camping with their Papaw Knight! Jordan's turn was Monday-Wednesday, Justin's turn was Wednesday-Friday. Friday, Brad, my mom, the kids' cousin Katelyn, Jacob, Jordan and I joined Justin and my dad at Lincoln to camp overnight. We had a wonderful time but we could have had better weather. Friday we took the kids fishing and they played from sun up to sun down! Saturday it rained pretty much all day but we made the most of it! We made a fire in the fireplace under a shelter house. My sister and her husband joined us around noon and they brought a portable dvd player and the kids watched movies and we played games. We made smores and roasted hot dogs in the fireplace. The rain cleared for a while and the kids enjoyed themselves on the playground getting muddy! A tornado warning was issued so we packed up and everyone came to my house for chili supper. My dad stayed behind to make sure the camper was alright. Jacob got his turn to spend time with papaw today and will come home tomorrow since he is not in school yet! We had a wonderful time spending Spring Break camping!
Jordan: caught 4 fish with papaw on Monday and Tuesday, got the dirtiest of all three boys all week, fell into the lake while fishing on the dock but caught a bass!
Jacob: loved being out in his element, got pretty dirty and surprised me by not being the dirtiest all week, caught a fish on Friday with papaw, mamaw, mom and dad and got a 3 lb bass today with papaw!
On March 25 we left for the cabins at Lincoln State Park for Spring Break. We stayed until March 28 and had a blast. The weather was perfect, the kids were on their best behavior and this made the trip wonderful! The kids went from 7 a.m. every morning to 9-9:30 every evening. They rode their bikes, went fishing, played baseball, basketball, football, played on the playground, hiked, played play dough, played board games, colored, played GI Joe's, tie dyed shirts and we even built a volcano and made it explode! We had so much fun and it was a nice relaxing Spring Break!
