For spring break Landon, Avery and I headed to Hays, Kansas to spend a few days with my parents. We loaded up the Yukon (felt like we were moving in with two kids) and headed that direction right after the work day on Friday.
The Newell Fun Fest was Friday night and I was so bummed to miss it, but my mom had massages and facials scheduled for Saturday morning. My dad watched the kids for me while we spent two hours at the spa. It was AMAZING! Definitely a nice treat from my parents. Thank you!
The weather was beautiful while we were there so Landon loved playing in the backyard every chance he could get.
On Sunday we went to church and then headed to iHop for breakfast!
On Monday, we were very fortunate that the weather was beautiful. My mom had scheduled us a tour at a Miniature Horse farm North of Kansas. I was a little worried on what it would entail; however, it was actually a lot of fun.
They gave us a tour first of their facilities. We were able to see all the ribbons they have won at showings, where they groom the horses, etc.
This of course was our favorite part. Landon loved meeting each individual horse and being able to pet them all. They were super cute!
At the end of the time there we got to take carriage rides.
After the horses we met my dad for lunch at the local Taco Shop down by the campus. It was funny because while we were there I had a list of all the things I wanted to do and places I wanted to go as it would be the last trip there.
Then of course it was time for SHOPPING!!! Downtown Hays has all these cute little shops and boutiques.
Then of course, Tuesday was Landon's favorite place...The Sternberg Dinosaur Museum. He has been there several times and constantly talked about it prior to going one last time. As soon as we got there he heard the dinosaur roaring upstair; he walked in going, "Shhhhhh the dinosaur will get us!"
Landon's favorite/not so favorite part! A life size dinosaur that is automated.
Digging for fossils
Then after the dinosaur museum we met my dad for lunch again. This time for the annual Lion Club's Pancake Feed. The Pancake Man was there. Landon enjoyed watching him flip pancakes and throwing them for people to catch.
He ate his entire three pancakes along with another half of mine.
Then of course they had to make me birthday cupcakes; even my favorite color!
One night while we were hanging out downstairs my mom drug out my brother's old Halloween costume.
Over spring break we also enjoyed visits from my brother and his family. We even got to babysit Taylin one evening.
We also traveled to Ravenna to eat breakfast at my Aunt's place and then headed to my grandparents for the afternoon in Pleasanton.
Spring break was wonderful this year. I definitely needed the break and enjoyed the extra snuggle time with my little ones.
