Last Monday, the children and I drove to the lakehouse with Gram Gram to spend Spring Break. Hailey always wants to spend more than just the weekend there so this was the perfect opportunity. We stopped and ate at a little restaurant- well Fran and I ate some food. Hailey and Hunter didn't exactly eat lunch. Little stinkers! Then we stopped off at the outdoor mall in Gainsville just to let the H's play in the playground for fun before we went to Wally World to pick up some groceries for the week.

The next day was GREEN DAY aka St. Patrick's Day. I have a few fond memories of this day growing up but for some reason I haven't passed them along to the H's yet. I dress them in green and that is about all I have done so far. I might get into it next year when Hailey is in Kindergarten. They looked cute in their green shirts though!

I drove them into town to visit Pottsboro's Friendship Park. We always pass it up on all the trips we have been going to the lake. I decided it was time we visited it and did something a little different. We picnicked first and had lovely peanut butter sandwiches before we played. Hailey wrote all our  names on our sandwich bags. They had a good time playing in the rocks and on the equipment. The sun came out and warmed us all up and I eventually had to pull out the sunblock for my fair skinned children!

Then after a quick trip into the dollar store, we were off to visit our local favorite establishment - The Resale Barn! We found a red storage cabinet for the kids to use upstairs at the lake, some VHS tapes, and a real light saber to name a few fun items. Hunter was fascinated with it even before he knew it made noise. He wanted to swing it in all directions in the store and even tried to pull a lady's purse off the checkout countertop with it!
