Spring Break 2010

The boys had last week off of school. And, the Big Guy took a week of vacation.

We headed to Cincinnati to see my family. Buddy joined us. This was the first trip with all of us in the CR-V. There was just enough room for Buddy. He was so excited to go that he jumped in before the car was packed!

We had to stop a few more times with him to walk him around.

The weather was beautiful in Cincinnati! We took advantage of it and got out in the yard. The boys tackled an old tree stump.

The gloves came out a bit late. We all ended up with blisters on our hands.

Bud Bud was not too much help! He was the best dog, though.

The Big Guy said this was his favorite memory from the trip - working hard on the stump with his boys. He was pleasantly surprised that none of them gave up. A little break for a Skyline lunch did the trick!

Look at that stump! They got it out. Boy! The yard looks nice w/o it.

On the last day, Peanut and the Big Guy did the Dayton Donut Dash. It is a fundraiser for the UD triathlon team. They passed on any donuts. The course was pretty hilly. The UD campus is much prettier than I thought.

Pumpkin wanted to curl up in Buddy's spot and take a nap. Teenagers!

After the race, we waited around for the awards. The donut king ate 20 donuts! He was a little guy. How gross is that? I wonder what kind of sugar crash he had.

We stopped in Beavercreek and played at my nephews' school Jamboree. It was fun to see their school getting an idea of where they spend their days. Then, we loaded up in the car for the ride home. With the dog in tow, meals are a bit different. We stopped for subs and ate them with Buddy. He loved it.

The week flew by. We had a great time together, watched lots of basketball and got to hang out with family. Now, we are back into the school routine!

Oh my... what a great trip back home (for me through your pictures!!!). It was nice to see the old street and your mom looks great! And my grandparents used to live up the hill from UD. We went to Drill Team Camp there once. My aunt and uncle still live in Beavercreek... that's where I was born!! I'm so happy you had a good trip. (See you in June!!!!!)
