Signs of Spring Vacation

Here are a few signs of Spring Vacation.  Boys hanging out on the porch midday!!  The cherry in bloom (and laundry on the line).  Flowering trees, the tiny NZ grass daisies, and of course dandelions.

Eric & Nikolai are psyched!

A shout of thanks out to our friends the Dugan/St. Clairs for this recommendation! What a great way to spend an afternoon of spring break...swinging from the trees with friends.


Adrenaline Forest is tucked into a massive City Park next to the beach. There is beach access, picnicing, campgrounds, a terrific playground, mini-golf, mountain bike trails, hiking trails and sulky (horse beach training) trails. There's a tall pine forest near the beach for the high ropes course.


We have been so lucky meeting wonderful people here. Another mom with boy-ness, Helen, graciously drove our bunch of boys there. The high ropes were terrific. The boys swung, balanced & tipped happily in the trees. They still had energy for the playground, ice creams, mini golf, and wrestling. It was a day they didn't want to end.
