Homemade kites make a great spring break















We headed to Long Beach Washington to our home away from home for spring break. I always look forward to going to our beach house. It is clutter free and work free. We keep the house very minimal and only keep things there that we love and especially picked out for that house. I like the simplicity there, and breathing the fresh ocean air is so nice and relaxing, even when it rains. 

During our stay there, the kids got to make homemade kid friendly kites. We have a neighbor that used to own kite stores, so he invited the kids over to make their own (out of colored trash bags). It was such an easy project and was the perfect way to spend the afternoon.

We watched a lot of movies, played the wii, had an Easter egg hunt on the beach with cousins, and we ate..a lot!  Lily and I even ate some raw osters, not too bad!

I didn't want to come home, but I can't be on vacation for ever....so we came home. I am counting the days till we go back again.

what a great spring break! it is always disappointing when vacations have to end, but I remind myself that father Lehi said without the bitter we wouldn't know the sweet. If we didn't have real life then we wouldn't have anything to vacation from.

That looks like such a fun activity and it teaches kids to be more creative.
