The month started with me feeling like everyone was taking my arms and legs and were pulling towards their direction of what we should do or who we should be visiting as hard as they good. Mentally I was just whacked and couldn't handle it so finally after much discussion Les and I decided that home with our family of 4 was where we needed to be. I have to say I'm so grateful for that decision because it seemed to be the magic pill I needed - finally by the end of the month I've started to feel like the old me and I not enough words can tell you how good that feels!
So what did we do? For some reason this seemed to the month of concerts and a great experience for the kids to see the different levels of music. These are the concerts we attended:
With the idea of staying close to home we did decide to sneak away for a couple days during Les's holidays. A two day mini-vacation touring around Washington got us shopping for necessities, looking at musical instruments, checking out a train museum and seeing the Snoqualmie Falls (pretty amazing). Pictures are the best way to experience a bit of our journey.....
The Snoqualmie Falls plunges 270 feet - 10 stories higher than Niagara Falls. From the pictures you can get an idea of how far away we were standing yet we were getting soaked with the spray from the falls.
Of course even though April had us on 'spring break' many regular activities still needed participation. Adrianna still had her band lessons at MRSS, Les and I still had our band practices and the kids still had their weekly church/scouting activities.
Probably the biggest news of all for the month of April is the decision to have both kids get braces......... stay tuned!
