Mountains! Beach! or Both!…

We really weren’t sure what the weather was going to be like, so instead of planning a big outdoor adventure day, we decided to stay close to home.  We were hoping for snow, but we never did get any.  Everyone around us sure did…even Kelly in VA got 6 inches.  Matty put his boots and hat on, he was ready!

To get the boys out, we went to Vicki’s diner for lunch.  They love to sit at the counter, so we did.

For afternoon fun, we took Davy, Matty, and Ryla to the theater to see Oz the Great and Powerful.  In the parking lot there were plowed snow piles…of course the boys were completely over the moon to see these…. 🙂

Day 1!  This year for Spring Break, we decided that it would be fun to go and visit Aunt Brandie and Uncle Laurence.  They recently bought a new house in Scotch Plains, NJ and we were excited to go and see it!  Brandie has been in town for work, so we were fortunate enough to have her fly up with us this morning.  The last time that Matty was on a plane, was in the summer of 2009 to visit Brandie in Long Beach…therefore he doesn’t remember ever being on a plane and was very very excited.  On the way up he got to sit next to the window and on the way home, Davy does.

When we arrived at the airport it was super cold outside.  Being that it was March in Florida, I could not find the boys winter clothes, so Kelly mailed me snow coats and pants.  We picked up the rental car, headed to the house to pick up Ryla and Layne, and then went over to downtown Westfield for some lunch.  You can never go wrong with pizza and pasta, everyone was happy. 

Before we headed back home we took the kids to the park to run off some of their wiggles.  It really was a pretty afternoon. 

Back at Aunt Brandie’s we settled in, unpacked, had some dinner, and then set the kids up in the basement to watch the Wizard of Oz.  Currently, it is one of Ryla’s favorites so she was very happy to get to play it for the boys.
