The powers that be have granted Clear Sky Elementary a modified traditional schedule, which translates in practical terms into two weeks of fall, winter, and spring break. Hallelujah!Our first week was a mixed bag: snowy weather meant fewer great outings and too much time spent indoors, frustrated and bored. We weren't without our successes, however: leisure pool, hiking the Rock, Denver Museum of Nature and Science, a showing of "Diary of a Wimpy Kid", snowmen to build. We attempted the Denver Children's Museum, perhaps for the last time as a group: wall-to-wall kids, and, alas, Eve, Ty, and Shane are just too old for it. Sigh.
Week two was a wonder: the best of springtime in the Rockies! "How to Train Your Dragon", Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, bowling, Monkey Bizness bounce house and a trip to the Wildlife Experience, wrapped up nicely by Saturday's mega-Easter-egg hunt at Bison Park (it wouldn't be an egg hunt if there weren't hurricane-force winds!). These are the days you'll remember...

looks like fun! I failed to mention that a www is essential infront of our blog name for it to work correctly. My bad.
What? snowman on SPRING break, what kind of a topsy turvy world is that?
LOVED the pictures. My favorite is Palm Sunday!! What a great idea! glad your life was filled with so much fun. our spring break is this week, i'll let you know how we do.
You do way more with your kids on vacation than I do. Our spring vacation was more like, "Can't you stay in your room? I just want two minutes to myself."
