Spring Break!!!

Last week was Spring Break, which is good because things can get pretty stressful in Kindergarten & Preschool so everyone needed a break. We headed south for some warm weather...sunny Mexico! Puerto Vallarta to be exact.

The boys started to trip out right...with popsicles & Pacifico. Oh the life!
By the end of day one, Nolan looked like this. Actually, this wasn't the end of the day, it was only about 5pm. We still had to get through dinner!
The boys

The next day we headed to the ocean to splash around. The kids were very excited to play in the ocean.


They had SOOOOO much fun running, jumping & splashing around in the water.

They did play in the sand a little bit...

Enough to get plenty of sand in all sorts of cracks & crevices.
Most of the time was spent in the pool but we did take a break for arts & crafts. Here is Aidyn with the dolphins she painted.
The girls
Me & my sweet peas at the pool.
Anytime Nolan was out of the pool, he needed to be wrapped in a towel or else he was freezing. Never mind that it was in the 80's the whole week we were there!
More fun in the ocean...
Here we are at dinner the last night of our trip.
Our last sunset. Beautiful!

We all had a great time and the kids keep saying how much they loved Mexico! It was a fun week together and boy did that sun feel good! Happy Spring!

Beautiful pictures. I can almost smell the ocean. So glad you had a great time. I am sure the kids are already asking,"When can we go again?"

Fun! What a great vacation. Hope the kids are feeling 'de-stressed' as they head back to tough life of school! :-)

Looks awesome! I am jealous! My vacation is a new mortgage! Is that a "butt trail" that Nolan made on the beach? LOL

What a good lookin' family! It really does look like you had a great time! Great pictures! Possible Christmas card? Maybe one of these years we'll get to go South of the Border again together (with?? or WITHOUT!! children) And Kristi, all I can say is KUDOS to you for being able to tackle a bikini after birthing 2 bambinos!

Everyone looks tan and rested. Hopefully ready for those stressful school days again.
