Spring Break with the Kids!!

So hopefully I should be posting a bunch of stuff soon (ie easter...a concert Kris and I went to...a passover Seder I was invited to...) but I figured I would start with Spring Break week (which was the week before Easter) and all the fun the kids and I were able to have!! (and yes I sadly know I'm about a month behind...sorry!!!) 

So we started off the week with a visit to Clark Elioak's Farm which is a farm/storybook forest type place down here. They have tons of storybook characters along with plenty of slides and animals. While we were there a little goat was born...I didn't get a great picture of him but here are some cute pictures from that day:

Next we headed to our new favorite place, Great Kids Village. It's a new HUGE indoor play place that has just about everything a kid could want from inflatables to a real firetruck to costumes galore and a huge sandbox. We actually went there twice that week and the second time we met one of our friends, Riley. By far Jake's favorite thing there is dressing up a like a knight and going in the castle that has a ball pit. Brooke of course is fascinated by the princess dresses :)

Our last big adventure of the week was the Howard County Public Library Easter Egg Hunt and Carnival at the Elkridge branch. They had everything from face painting to games and of course the Easter Egg hunt. I was very tempted to go for the face painting myself but I restrained...this time at least!

And thus concludes our fun Spring Break week! It really ended up being a blast and has me very excited for summer when we can have more fun adventures.
