How did I forget about Spring Break?

I have no idea how I didn’t blog about Lilly’s Spring Break! She had a week off in April and while Steven still had to work, we made do with all the time off we had together. You see, Steven doesn't work a normal everyday schedule like most people. He never has. He works 12 hour hour shifts with Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday off. For Lilly, she only gets one day with Daddy, which is really half of a day because he works nights so he needs to sleep some on Sunday morning. She doesn’t get much time with him at all so we packed in  a lot of fun stuff for the time off he had. We did a lot of playing outside and movie watching and we also went miniature golfing. We wanted to have fun but also let her relax. She has just looked exhausted the past few weeks so we really wanted her to have some time to relax. I think we managed to balance the two.

The theater on base only plays movies on the weekend. We went and saw Rango. The girls enjoyed themselves but Ruby didn’t want to sit still. I’m not sure if I really liked it or not. I know I’ve seen better kids movies but it was nice to enjoy a movie out of the house.

Steven really wanted to take them miniature golfing again. It is really cheap- only a dollar to play- and the girls loved it last time they went. They went through the course so fast! They would take their turn and just keep going. I could really care less because I am terrible at it, but Steven actually wanted to play. He played every hole. Every time the girls got the ball in the hole, they would shout “Bingo!”. Ruby thought it was hilarious. She sat in the stroller most of the time and watched Steven play, so when he got the ball in the hole she would shout “Bingo!” for him and clap her hands. And speaking of Daddy, he got a hole in one on the first hole. Me being the sore loser I am was not impressed! After golfing we went to Arkadas Park. It’s the big park here on base. There are playgrounds, gazebos, grills. volleyball, a stage that has a rock wall too, and nest of all bathrooms, lol!  Even though they claim that they already went or don’t need to, 10 minutes after we get anywhere someone has to go to the bathroom.  All in all it was really fun day :)
