Spring Break

Spring Break was just the thing we all needed! No schedule, no homework, sleeping in, playing, relaxing, spring cleaning-it was a good mix of them all!  We started off the weekend with two dinner parties-one with the missionaries and our new babysitter Sister Myers (she’s a widow in her 70s) and then we had a new family from our ward-our fellow Salvadorans, the Castillo’s on Sunday. It was a little bit stressful-I can’t have people over without stressing out, but it was nice.

Monday we slept in and did chores, then I took the kids to the mall to see the Easter Bunny-as seen in the earlier post-Sylvie was the only one who would sit on his lap. The kids had a sleepover at Grandma’s one night, played at the neighbor kids’ house one day, we went to the park with some friends another day. Went to the library and Costco another day.

Julio had a busy week traveling for work-Fresno, Stockton, Redding-so he took Thursday off and we went to Six Flags. It wasn’t crowded, the weather was good and we had a great time. Marco was disappointed because he couldn’t go on all the rollercoasters. Lucia went on a big rollercoaster by herself! Sylvia loved the spinning rides, and Tessa loved the carousel. Julio lost his keys some time during the day, but luckily, someone turned them in to the lost and found.
