What are two mamas (each with three kids) to do on Spring Break when their husbands need to stay home and work? They go to Auntie Julie's Resort in Kennewick, of course! :)
Matt had to tear out the basement bathroom, and Jeff had lots of National Boards papers to write, so Heidi and I planned to get out of Dodge with the kids and flee to Julie's house. She had break the week previous--she was in Spokane to help me with sick Josh!--so she had to go to work each day, but we had a little fun when she was at work and a lot of fun with her in the evenings.
Here are pictures of the spa treatment that the girls gave us upon arrival. This was really needed, because our trip was made longer by a trip to the Ritzville Les Schwab to tighten lug nuts. I pulled out at a rest stop to find one missing and the rest loose. We were so thankful nothing dangerous happened--but this prolonged our trip and we were quite ready to get to Julie's by the end of it.
Even Micah got the royal treatment.
One of the evenings we went into the park in Richland. Picnic, walk, rocks in the water, crazy goose chasing, and playground.
When Auntie came home early one day, she held Micah while I took a nap with the kids.
And it was HOT--at least to our still-chilly Spokane weather. I believe it may have been 70 degrees in this picture. :) Warm enough for sprinkler dancing.
It was such a nice getaway. So nice that Heidi and I didn't want to return to our chores waiting at our own houses. But, refreshed from our stay at the resort, we returned to Spokane, ready to tackle the rest of the school year. Thanks for a fun three days, Auntie Julie!
