Spring Break

We started our spring break off with a bang and hit Legoland with Abel's family. His sisters Stephanie and Toni, their husbands, and all the kids joined us as we spent a fun day at the park. 15 of us total including baby Jordin.
It doesn't matter how many times we go to this place - THEY LOVE IT! It is a great place for kids this age. Gianni is so sweet because he continues to have some fear when it comes to rides. Carmen is the exact opposite. She is the girl that is on the ride and people look and say, "I can't believe that little one is on that ride!" I love them both the way they are, but they are so different.
The best day of spring break was the beach. We brought a picnic, all the cousins played together, and I got a chance to run a few miles solo on the sand. Very relaxing!
The water in San Diego was 54 F. My kids did not care. Carmen loves the beach and would swim even if it was 48 degrees.
Uncle Richard and Destiny decided to bury Gianni!

When we returned from San Diego we still had a few days to relax before going back to work. This break felt much different than most. I think it was because I was studying and stressing about my AEPA Principal Exam. I took it yesterday and I am so glad that it is over. I did the best I could to take my mind off of it. This week we enjoyed some time with Nonna and Papa, went swimming, cleaned out bedrooms, and went to baseball practice. Yup, it's time for baseball. Tomorrow it is back to work for the last and final quarter before summer break. I do hope it goes fast.
