Spring Break Fun!

Trent's spring break seemed to take forever to get to.  Since Easter was later this year, that meant his spring break was late too.  We were both looking forward to having some down time and doing some fun things. 

Trent has picked up a few character traits from me and one of them is planning.  He has to have a plan, go over the plan again and again and then execute the plan (hopefully flawlessly).  For about a week prior to spring break Trent would ask me what we were doing on each day of break.  He had a few things he wanted to accomplish.  Chuck E Cheese was a must and that would happen on Monday.  Tuesday we had some errands to run and he had piano lessons.  Wednesday the three of us were going to Disneyland.  Thursday we were going to the Skirball Museum to see the Noah Ark's exhibit and Friday we had to do more errands, but we would fit in some fun.  So that was the plan and I knew Trent would hold me to it.

We celebrated the start of spring break on Friday with going to see the movie Rio, which was so good.  Then we had a fun weekend celebrating Easter.  On Monday, we did go to Chuck E Cheese and his cousin Jake joined us.  Trent and Jake had so much fun playing the games and trying to win lots of tickets.  On Tuesday, as planned we did some errands and then piano lessons.  We had dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant. That was the night I pulled out Trent's tooth.  On Wednesday, we got to Disneyland early and had a great day.

Big Thunder Mountain.  Trent did not want to go on this ride, but we convinced him he would have fun and we ended up going on it twice.  

We knew he would like it!

 Love Tim's excitement!

 Slowing the pace down and taking a ride on the Jungle Cruise.

All smiles on the Matterhorn.  Trent was yelling for it to go faster.  He went on this roller coaster twice.  It was a fun day on the roller coasters.

Taking a break for some ice cream and of course some pictures.

Later in the day we made our way over to CA Adventure.  Soarin' over California and Toy Story Mania are always a must, so we went on those rides.

Trent had a great time on the zip line.

 Trent actually suggested that I take a few pictures of him 

and best of all he smiled!

The next excursion on our agenda was going to the Skirball Museum where they have a Noah's Ark interactive exhibit.  We went with some friends from school and the kids had a great time playing inside the Ark.

 The gang having fun!

We had a great week and I am so happy Tim was able to join us at Disneyland.  That was definitely a treat!  Trent only has six more weeks of school, which I am sure are going to go by so fast.  I am still in disbelief that he will be in 2nd grade in September.  Time please slow down!
