Spring break kicked off this weekend with a bang, ok, more like the Big Bang, but still.. Amanda and Tyler are with us this weekend for an extended stay.. all the way until Wednesday. Not having to spend Sunday evening driving to Salem is a wonderful treat!!So far this spring break, there has been very little time to spare! Saturday we split into genders for our day's activities. The girls had their "girls day" by watching old episodes of Leave it to Beaver, cooking and finally watching the Pac 10 Gymnastics Championships in Corvallis (Stanford won). Amanda found it quite interesting in her growth spurt this year that she was far taller than most competitors..
The boys and I had our "Boys Day" consisting of a trip to the Planetarium and Science Museum where we saw 2 shows: one on the night sky and one on the planet Saturn. As space nuts they both loved it! Then we made pizzas and continued the space theme by watching the old Disney flick "The Black Hole" (Fun and creepy movie, with the strangest ending ever..).
Sunday.. was just a fun family day. After church we: Raced RC cars (Tyler learned that if he he drives his car fast enough right into his brothers ankles.. he falls down.. hard. Ouch!) The boys raided the games closet and then spent the afternoon playing Stratego, Life and Sorry,, nothing like the classics. Finally we ended the day with yet another Disney classic movie "Snowball Express". The kids are now thoroughly exhausted, but eagerly awaiting the rest of spring break to come. As for me... I too am exhausted. Too bad I don't get a spring break!! Oh to be kid again!!

Quick update: After last week's upsetting blog, I am happy to report that Max has made an almost full recovery. Today he was back to racing full speed through his tube maze, a very welcome sight for us all!
