End of spring break

Our last morning on Chincoteague:




Cool new shirts:




We made it to Graytown in about 9 hrs, and even had time to play at a park and eat pizza! On Saturday, we did some archery before heading home:



Once we pulled in the driveway, we found that Chris had gotten down all of the bikes! We immediately hopped on them and biked to the cider mill for ice cream:



Little Jess biked all on her own, the whole 8 miles! Her first ever ride that long!



We also went to Bordines spring expo sat afternoon. There was a mermaid!



Sat night, we had a big storm with hail and crazy winds, and we lost power til Sun afternoon. To pass the time, we went back to Bordines!



Capt Jack Sparrow was there, too!



Mon was back to school :( meg had a fever and had to stay home Monday and Tuesday.

Tues morning we woke up to:


We broke Detroit's snow record! About 50% more snow than Alpena, believe it or not! The record we broke was set in 1880-1, which was "the long winter," by Laura Ingalls Wilder! Meg and I just read that book this winter, not knowing we would have a winter to beat it!

Jess had soccer practice in the snow on Tues afternoon. (Blame her crazy coach, Chris!). But spring came back the next day, and we've loved seeing the snow melt and the flowers pop up all week!
