On a Roll...#77 check!

This Spring Break has been great! As my kids get older, I find myself looking forward to their days off school. Instead of diaper bags and juggling nap time, they can go hours without food and carry on some pretty funny conversations with me. I actually think I would like to freeze this time in their lives before they get to the point where they are too cool to hang out with mom.

Since I already checked off the Renaissance Festival last weekend, I looked at my list again and decided to take the family ice skating today. It was so much fun! Of course when we first got on the ice, both boys said they were scared and Colton kept saying, "I can't do it." But they did it. Within 20 minutes, they were both skating on their own around the rink.

Colton stayed cautious and was frustrated the couple times he did fall. Dawson, on the other hand, thought falling was funny and skated the entire time looking like he was going to fall, making noises like he was going to fall, yet staying up most of the time. James even was enjoying it by the end, once he remembered how to skate.

After ice skating, we had a fun lunch at Johnny Rockets and it was just a good day. As James and I get ready to leave in 36 hours, I can't help but think about the what-ifs while we are gone. But, one thing is for sure. We made the most of our spring break. We made some great family memories. And, I am looking forward to this summer when the boys are out of school and we can make some more.
