I'm Back...I guess I needed a Spring Break too!

I took a little break last week to enjoy the kids being home...


The girls put together a tent for...Claire...


Chelsea and I made Paula Deen's Coconut Lime Cake...

                            Claire perfected splashing in the pool!...



...and loved playing in the Spring basket (my new version of the Easter basket...since my girls have finally outgrown them)...

...and I am pretty sure she ate her weight in blueberries!

On Wednesday Rich, Chelsea, Katelyn, and I headed up to Nashville...
We visited Vanderbilt...Katelyn's home starting next August!



Kate will live somewhere in this freshman quad next year!

While there she bought her dad a gift for his 50th (on the 25th)...a Vandy hat!


On St. Patrick's Day we went to a Nashville Predators Hockey game! They played the bagpipes version of the National Anthem, had an Irish band playing during the game, and served green beer! It was crazy...physical...and fun...a first for all of us...next time we will all bring coats to wear!

Look closely and you will see #12...Carrie Underwood's husband!  In case anyone cares...the Predators beat the Boston Bruins in overtime 4-3!!

As if that wasn't enough fun, Rich found a place right outside of Nashville where we could zipline...





Getting onto the zipline was half the fun! We all enjoyed it but thought it would be better after the leaves come in...


 Before we knew it, it was Friday and time to start back for home!  We spent one night at Nicole's...said goodbye to Chelsea, and then headed back to Panama City...but not before...



We enjoyed some time with Claire at the local park!

So for a couple of days it is back to the reality of laundry...mail...grocery store...errands, but it's birthday week in our house so we have a 50th celebration for Rich coming up on the 25th and Nicole's birthday the 26th!!! 

I hope you had a fabulous spring break and you wake up daily to sunshine!  Stay tuned this week cause there is good stuff coming...an update on the 11 in 2011 book club...a guest blogger...and the end of the study/ bath remodel!
Happy Spring :)
