Spring Break

Spring break is winding down for us, while some of you are starting break on Monday. Ours had its ups and downs. Several of the activities I planned were from one child's wish list, and she managed to sabotage them for herself, but I refused to let her ruined it for everyone. We pressed onward with whoever was cooperating at the moment.

Before spring break even started, two group went scuba diving. Group one consisted of Kaleb doing a non-certified dive, while Rick and Jasmine did a regular dive. Jasmine has a lot of ear trouble and was not able to go below 10 feet. So she completed a shallow dive, and then Rick did a 30 foot dive. Unfortunately he ruptured his ear drum!

Then Tyler and I did a dive. There was a strong current making it challenging. We only dove to 37 feet. It was good visibility, though.

On Monday we were going to have a fairly quiet day simply walking/running and cooking out at a local park. But the weather looked like it was going to be stormy, so we grabbed frozen baked spaghetti from Walmart and went to Jessica's.

Afterwards we walked/ran at a park we hadn't been to before.





On Tuesday we were supposed to whitewater raft, but in addition to rupturing his ear, Rick blew his knee out, so we had to cancel that. Ty had already taken the day off, so we drove to St George Island and climbed the lighthouse.







Then we played at the beach behind the lighthouse.

Kayla's Meet

Kayla is in track this year. Her meet started at 4:00, but she didn't run until 6:20! She only had one event-- the 800. I encouraged her to talk to her coach about running more events. She is much faster than some of the other girls. Especially the ones running the 1600 meter (roughly one mile). The girls from her team came in dead last. There are only four meets, and the first one was postponed due to rain. Her school chose not to do the make up meet for some reason, so she will only run three meets.

Before the meet

They did not run separate heats for the 800m and 1600m

Beach Photos

I just realized that I posted the link for the news show, but never posted the actual beach photos. So here they are! 











 It was a really fun day. The weather has turned cool again, so while Jessica took Winter to a specialist three hours away, River and I went to the zoo. I will post those pictures later.

In the News

Jessica and I ended up on the news quite by coincidence the other day when we decided to head to the beach after doing a couple of errands.
