A Day Off From School

So last Friday, March 14, there was no school.  It was a trade day for parent teacher conferences plus state basketball.  Last year, we enjoyed going to state basketball since Uncle Justin was playing, but this year, much to Aaron's dismay, we didn't go.  I couldn't justify the expense.  But I wanted to make sure we had a fun day together, and thankfully the weather cooperated (mostly).  I also didn't want to spend a ton of time in the car or a lot of money.  So, we took advantage of the nice weather and had a day at the park.  The boys didn't want to take their lunch to the park, so they ate before we left.  The girls wanted to take a picnic lunch, so they packed their lunch bags and we hopped on our bikes to ride to Westside.  The boys wanted to be able to shoot hoops and that is the only park with hoops.  They aren't very high, but I think they still had some fun.



















After we had played for awhile, we decided to go for a treat.  We had never tried the new frozen yogurt place in town, Wyogurt, so we decided to splurge.  Boy was it yummy!!!

Ashlee thought this Superman guy was cool (she called it Batman - I couldn't convince her otherwise).


We were going to go park hopping afterwards, but it had become a little windy and chilly so we opted to go to the church gym and play basketball, volleyball, and Frisbee.  It was a fun day!  We had a nice relaxing night with Dad when he got home from work.  He was leaving for South Carolina early Sunday morning, so we wanted to make sure we had some family time together cause we sure miss him when he is gone!
