Spring Break Fun

We got back from Florida just in time for Izzy's Spring Break week. The last couple days have been spent having lots of fun with friends!

Izzy's friend Delaney came over Tuesday from 10-2. All the kids played so well together that I was able to unpack almost everything from our trip. After she left Drew took a nap and Izzy had quiet time. Then it was off to meet up with our friends Kelly and Jack who are in town for a visit. We met them at McDonald's where the kids ate and played. After an hour or so we dumped, I mean dropped, the kids at the drop in childcare (my first time using it) and then we went next door for Mexican. Jen met up with us for dinner, and Delaney joined the other kids next door. It was SO nice to have a couple margaritas and catch up, all the while knowing the kids were having a blast playing together next door.

I pick up my kids and we returned some Redbox movies then came home for bath and bedtime. What a fun Tuesday we had!

Wednesday brought even more fun and excitement. Once we were up and ready we headed out to meet a bunch of friends at a bounce house place. I was SO proud of Izzy for her willingness to want to bounce again. ...and only slightly worried she might freak once we got there. I did not bring up her leg because I didn't want to put any unnecessary fear in her. While we weren't going to the same place she broke her leg, she was well aware that we would be bouncing. She even commented how Bj's (where we went yesterday) was going to be so much fun - just like J&F (where she had her party).

She did GREAT!

Then getting a little more daring

And taking the plunge

Ironically this place had the same apparatus that Izzy broke her leg on. She didn't even hesitate to "get back on the horse" as the saying goes.

Way to face your fears head on! ...or maybe she really just isn't scared?

She had so much fun that she even posed for a couple pictures sitting on top of it.

And all is forgiven for the broken leg.

And a couple of Drew for good measure...

After all our jumping fun we decided to let the good times roll and take our party outside. We hit up the Panera patio for some food and fellowship. All the kids worked up a nice appetite with all that jumping.

Once we left lunch the kids and I grabbed milkshakes and then headed to Izzy's 4 year well visit.

Sounds like a blast! I'm still waiting for some Disney recaps. :)

I'm proud of Izzy for doing so well...and are those kids eating soup at Panera??? Do most kids like soup?
