Spring Break 2012

My parents bought a new house last December for spring break we went to check it out. To say that house is AWESOME would be a major understatement! We had so much fun. Some of the cool things about the house/yard. The former owner was a professional baseball player and he put a batting cage in the back yard. So my parents bought a ton of gloves, balls, and bats for all the grandsons (7) to play with. They brought the tether ball pole from the old house and bought a new ball. And they have a HUGE swimming pool which they heated for us. Their backyard is also ginormous. So the kids had a ton of fun running around. Their house also is right next to some orange groves so as soon as we walked in we could smell the blossoms, IT WAS HEAVENLY! I really miss that smell. One of the perks of the new house was each family had their own bedroom and bathroom. We were downstairs. My mom also bought a ton of pirate dress up clothes and huge bouncy balls. So here are some of the pictures and hi-lights of our trip. (there are tons) I also got to see two of my really good friends from high school. I met Jenn at a park and after 10 min. my kids were asking to go back to grandma's it was more fun than the park. I also saw Kristin. We went to see my parents old home, which should be closing soon and Kristin was at her parents house across the street. I love those girls although I forgot to get pictures with them.

 I couldn't find the kids one morning after looking around all the grand kids were in Grandma and Grandpa's bed watching a show.
