Kyle's birthday and our Spring Break trip!

Kyle celebrated his 10th birthday the last week of March! There was so much going on with the last week of school before Spring Break and getting ready to go out of town, that he hasn't had his party yet. We just let him open up a few gifts from us and select his own birthday meal. He has to wait until later in April for his birthday party (poor guy!).   But he did get a few goodies, including Rocksmith for his new guitar and a Minecraft shirt (which is his birthday theme, by the way). 

Wowsers, both of our kids are in double digits now... hard to believe!





It didn't seem as if it would ever get here, but if was FINALLY time for Spring Break.  YEAH!!!  We were packed and ready (mostly) for our very long drive to Florida (and warmer weather!).  We left super early Friday morning.  Don't the kids look comfy?!?



We were definitely ready to see warmer temperatures than this:



Unfortunately, we hit a lot of traffic in a few places - especially around the Nashville and Atlanta area.  We played a lot of games: some DS games such as Skip-Bo, Battleship and Mario Kart, as well as other games such as 7 Little Words together (that one Kenny could help us with) and the kids and I read a lot of books!!!



After a late-night crash somewhere outside of Atlanta, we finally made it Saturday evening to our resort.  We were all so ready to get out of the vehicle!!!





The weather was beautiful!  Shorts and sundresses, here we come!  And we even remembered to take a few pictures of our room before we trashed it:





Yes, I do believe that Kyle was excited to be there. And even though we were in Florida, the Easter bunny still figured out where we were and left the kids some goodies:













 And it didn't take long for Kyle to start pestering his sister with his brand new Minecraft pick.  :-)



We have lots more to share from our trip, including miniature golfing, Universal, etc.  More to come!
