Because of Zachary's surgery and Kevin's busy work schedule we do not go out of town for Spring Break. Instead we try to do a weekend trip and fun events during the week. The weekend before Spring Break we made a quick trip to STL for an ortho meeting. At first the boys and I were not going to go but then we thought it would be a great weekend away. We took my parents with us so that we could attend the ortho event dinner at night. It was fun to travel with them! On Friday we just did some shopping. Will was not impressed.
One of the funny things about the trip was the Pops got sucked in by the annoying kiosk sales man for some back stimulation patches. I could not believe my dad even gave the guy the time of day but he did. Next thing you know he has 5 patches stuck to his back & shoulders. 25 minutes later we are still at the kiosk listening to every sales pitch in the book on why my dad needs this device. I couldn't take the sales pitch seriously so I left and pushed Will around the mall until Grams & Pops found us. It was hilarious! Thankfully my dad got away without having to buy anything.
Zach's only request during the trip was that we went to another shopping center to jump on this trampoline thingy. Zach wanted to do the trampoline thingy this summer, however while we were waiting for it to open he started playing on the malls play land equipment. Next thing you know some sharp metal piece sliced into his toe & toenail. With blood every where and no one in the mall to care we just got in the car and left. So he never got to do this trampoline thingy.
It was finally Z's "big" excitement.
He loved it!
Before heading home we had to get a bite to eat on "The Hill". Cunetto's our favorite spot was closed on Saturdays for lunch so we hit our next favorite spot, Rigazzi's.
That following Monday Rachel, Grams, my nephews and my boys took a trip down to see Pierce Arrow. It was area appreciation so we got discounted tickets. Here are the 3 monkey's in the back of my van. Jerrytt really thinks he is 6/7. As you can see Zachary was super excited!
Poor Will had to sit in the middle. He loved every minute of the show and time with his cousins.
Elliott got to spend the night! This is a real treat. E&Z used to have sleepovers all the time but since they are both in school and have different school schedules sleepovers don't happen that often. Poor Jerrytt wanted to stay at Aunt Howie's house too! But he had school the next day. It was hard to see Jerrytt screaming and crying as my sister pulled out of my drive way. I hope it doesn't scar him for life!
I realize now more than ever how much I love having my boys home together all day long. Of course it is loud, crazy, and half the time I am cleaning up messes and the other half I am separating the two of them for something but I truly love it. Spring Break just made me realize how ready I am for school to be out! I can't wait for summer
