Spring break started out with a rainy Easter day here in Portland. But church was amazing and we had lots of visitors!! I hope that they will come back at some point! Then after church we went over to the Ellison's for lunch. It was very good and nice to visit with them. I played with Eli and Evan a lot, they are both so cute! Then after lunch and hanging out, I came home and finally packed to head off for the beach! But sun was not in the forecast..
I left for the coast Sunday afternoon to join the family I nanny for. We went for Alyssa's spring break. Let me just say, it was more like winter break than spring break!! First of all, we only were able to go out and play on the beach one day the entire week!! That was on Monday, and it was not really all that warm- but we braved it so the kids could have fun for a little while. We were out there for a while before they started saying they were cold, and for that I was thankful because I was ready to go in as well!!
Tuesday we played in the house and went to the park. It was raining off and on while we were at the park, but when we got back the boys napped greeeaattt- and for that I was so glad! Monday and Tuesday were rainy off and on and we also had some hail too. So that brings us to Wednesday, and we went into Seaside for a late breakfast, the carousel and the tilt-a-whirl. After we were done with all of that, we decided to walk down to the aquarium (which is very tiny!!). When we went out to start our walk, it was snowing and snowing pretty heavily! But we decided to go anyway since we were all bundled up. We went and saw all the sea creatures and they also had sea lions that would do "tricks" for pieces of fish, and when they talked they almost sound like cows, it was pretty entertaining! Even though their talking did scare the boys! So we walked back to the car in the freezing snow! Thursday and Friday the crummy weather continued and we drove home on Friday in the snow with some slick roads. Thankfully, we made it home safely! I was happy to be back in Portland, and then yesterday it rained all day long and we even had some snow here too- crazy weather!
Overall, we had a pretty good time. We were also able to play Yahtzee with Alyssa, which she loves! She got her first loose tooth while we were there, after discovering it was loose she spent about half an hour flipping out..it was pretty funny. She is/was worried that she will loose all her teeth at once. Poor girl, she will be so cute when it does fall out! It was fun to watch the boys play on the beach and discover the ocean more and understand that the ocean is bigger than the river! I hope the weather is a lot better the next time we go!
So here is to spring time and spring weather....please come and stay around for a while!!
