Day 2 - March 30 - Anika and mom go shopping for a graduation dress; no dress was found in her size, but it was still a fun outing; she did get some new paint for her art set
Day 3 - March 31 - Easter breakfast at church, service, egg hunt at friends, amazing meal, walk on the beach, NCAA basketball, and MN scrapbooks
Day 4 - April 1 - Kangaroo Palace - its a jumpy house place - like Pump It Up in Minnesota; and more graduation dress shopping
Day 5 - April 2 - Meijer Garden with Aunt Kathy. The butterflies are out - it is always so much fun to see them flapping all over. Brandon badly wanted one to land on him, but it didn't happen. We took a walk outside before heading home.
Day 6 - April 3 - Rise of the Guardians free kids movie. We all loved the movie!
Day 7 - April 4 - Childrens Museum in Grand Rapids - well - that's what it was supposed to be. We drove there and discovered a line of people outside the building. We joined the line - and the kids had fun playing with the sidewalk chalk that was provided. We stood in line about 20 minutes at which point we were told the building was at capacity and we would have to wait for people to leave before anyone else could enter. We drove home. Matt had hidden the Easter eggs, so we had our egg hunt, ate some supper and went to bed. Not the greatest adventure of Spring Break.

Day 8 - April 5 - USS Silversides - Its a US Navy WW II submarine. There was a museum with a working periscope and lots of information and then you get a self - guided tour on the submarine. We had a good time and tried not to press any buttons.

Day 9 - Home Depot - now there's an adventure. It was kids workshop day so each of the kids made a planter. They had a painting station which we ended up at for a LONG time. But we have four very colorful little wooden planters.
Day 10 - McDonald's - We met Aunt Kathy and my cousin and her husband and kids at a McDonald's playland. The kids had ice cream and lots of energy burned off playing tag and the adults had conversation. It was a great time.
Day 11 - school - some were happier than others

We still have several adventures we have to take. There is a dairy nearby that we want to tour. We haven't all gone fishing yet. There is a farm and a petting zoo. Maybe Tulip Time. So many adventures to plan - so much other stuff to do - like school and work!
