Spring Break 2016

We met Alan in Asheville on Sunday. He camped out at a men's retreat at Montreat that weekend with the last day being Sunday, so it just made sense.  He checked out and headed to Asheville. He found a laundry mat to wash his clothes that he had with him while he waited on us to get there. We met him there and hung out while his clothes finished up. We then left and headed to grab lunch since it was still too early to check in. We had lunch at Papa's and Beer. A very yummy Mexican place.

After lunch, we went to check in the hotel and unpack.  We went to the mall and let the girls play on the playground at the food court for a while. (not the exact layout but similar)

We then left and rode back into Montreat to walk around and let the girls play on the playgrounds.

 

Monday- We got to Mountain Play Lodge around 10am. It's an amazing indoor playground for toddlers and big kids. The girls played for a couple of hours and we left to eat lunch at Rocky's Chicken Shack which is right down the road. After we ate, we came back and the girls played a couple more hours.

Alan wanted to stop and get ice cream.. and this happened.  This never happens anymore.

We decided to wake them up and get ice cream at Marble Slab. We stopped by fast food and took supper back to the room and ate. After that, we all got in the indoor pool for a bit.

Tuesday- We went to Hands On! Hendersonville. It's a pretty small children's museum. The girls played an hour or so and then we left to eat lunch at Mike's on Main.

After lunch, we walked down to the Mast General Store to let the girls pick out candy.

Then we left and rode into Lake Lure/Chimney Rock. We decided to take a pontoon tour. It was really cold and windy and the girls were a bit squirmy but it was a nice ride overall.

Wednesday- Riley just woke up here but Madison insisted on taking a picture with her. After breakfast, we head home and are home by lunchtime!

Thursday-  A friend invited us to the library for story time and about 6 friends with their kiddos ended up showing up! The kids played and then we checked books out and then went to Costco!

Friday- The other library had a puppet show with craft time afterward so I took them to that.  They were engaged in the puppet show and made monsters and played games afterward.

Saturday- When the 4 year old forgets to close the craft bin before the 2 year old decides to pick it up...

Sunday- Trying a new daily schedule for the girls in preparation for Summer! Part of that schedule is some type of daily craft. Today's craft was a snail!

Spring Break fun

Madison had Spring Break last week. We weren't able to go anywhere so here's what we did instead!

Monday it poured rain all day but we did make it to Walmart to get groceries! Exciting way to start the week, I know...

Tuesday- Madison and I made oatmeal raisin breakfast bars while Riley napped.This girl loves to help cook!

Wednesday- went outside and gathered rocks, flowers and mulch

..and reached for passing helicopters

 Thursday- Library puppet show with playtime afterward. After that, she played on the new playground and then we got lunch at chic-fil-a. After her nap, she went to her Nimmies until bedtime.

 

Friday- We just hung around the house. She played in her playroom a good bit today.
