Spring Break 2013

This past Spring Break was lovely. The weather was wonderful. I got to do a lot of outdoor and indoor projects that I have meant to do for some time. I also finished reading one novel and made great headway into another. And then, this weekend we even had time to go over to the Olympic Mountains for a bit and stay at the Lake Quinault Lodge. Here are some of our adventures:

KidsQuest Museum

An Easter egg hunt in the park with friends

 A visit to the aquarium with Sam's friend Leah (here they are looking at a diver inside the tank)

A visit to the park

The tulips behind our daffodils started to bloom this week. I also noticed that the allium started to sprout yesterday; I was glad that they weren't upset too much when I planted dahlias earlier this week.

J and I also painted our basement and laundry room this week. Sam helped out a little bit too, which he enjoyed. Since these walls had never been painted before, I didn't think Sam could do much to mess things up. We painted the laundry room light yellow and painted the basement a light green.

J let Sam borrow his camera when we went to Lake Quinault, although Sam had to be very very careful (and not mess with the settings). Sam took hundreds of pictures during the whole trip. He would often say, "Got it!" after clicking the shutter of the camera.

We stayed in one of the lakeside rooms of the lodge (in the newer part of the lodge complex)

 The lodge hosted an Easter egg hunt on their Great Lawn. The Easter Bunny even came by for a visit!
