Spring Break

We started out spring break with Newell's Funfest on Friday night.  Monroe had fun playing all of the games.  We worked the pop toss game, which had a constant line out the door.  

One cool thing they had this year was a photo booth.

Monroe played a lot of dress up this week.

The weather this week was gorgeous!  This was at Stolley Park.

Roasting marshmallows

Eating outside

One day Monroe came down from nap in her swimming suit and asked to swim.  We compromised with the water table.

Ice cream and donuts

On Wednesday after lunch I left for our annual spring break trip.  This year we decided to stay closer to home.  Abby's brother has a condo in downtown Lincoln that we were able to stay in.  It was perfect!  

When we got into town, we got pedicures.  

The condo has a small balcony that overlooks downtown.

On the first night, we went out for sushi at Blue.  It was yummy!

Shelley joined us later that night.  We stayed up really late talking and laughing.

Zach sent me a few pictures the next day.

Out to lunch at Cheddar's

After lunch, we spent the day shopping.

 Night two

Pictures from the balcony

We went to Lazlo's for supper, and then we went to a dueling piano bar. (We seem to like those.)

It was a great trip!  We got the Mommy away time that we all needed. 

We came home Friday afternoon.  Zach's parents had planned a fun evening for Monroe.  They took us to the Cinderella movie.  She loved it!  They also showed a Frozen short film that was super cute.

Playing at the mall

On Saturday, we took our first family bike ride of the year.

Then on Sunday, we took advantage of the windy day and went to Newell to fly a kite.

 Then we played on the playground.

The Elsbury's stopped by Newell while we were there, so we played together.

We LOVED this spring break!  I think it was because of the weather.  It makes Zach and I so eager for summer.
