Saturday we headed outside to help our much neglected yard, then we went on our Saturday adventure. This time we went on another bike ride and on our way back the boys gave us the official tour of their beloved play area, 'The Hill Place'. They have spent hours upon hours playing here. They have created games based off of Harry Potter, Star Wars, Percy Jackson, Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Each day is a new episode to their game. (and they have been known to end their day with a cliff hanger). So many times we have dropped them off or picked them up here, but I have never explored it. I can now see why they love it there! I know they will look back on their childhood and this will be a big part of it. It's amazing what some big piles of dirt with weeds and plants growing on it can do to a child and their imagination. I was so happy I could see through their eyes the joy of this place.
Monday we had a lego building day and played with friends. Very chill.
Tuesday night we kicked off our official spring break (daddy had Wed-Fri off). We met Grandma at Temple Square, where she took the four younger kids back home to play, and Corbin and I met daddy at the Temple to do Baptisms. It was so very tender. That night we were all cuddled together anticipating the coming days. The boys were giving suggestions and writing out schedules and getting incredibly excited for the Stay-Cation!!
