Spring Break

This year we did Spring Break in New Jersey with my Woodruff Family. It was SO cold but so fun!! We all stayed at a house on the beach, which was a little crazy with all of the kids. But, I do have to say, they all slept in a room downstairs together and did FANTASTIC. Seriously. They went to bed when we said it was time and Treyton even slept in until 7 almost every day! Other than the sleeping arrangements, we spent the week celebrating an early Easter, Jayci's (and others) birthdays, played at a freezing cold beach, played at a park, played baseball and kickball, went to Philadelphia for a day, went to a lighthouse, played cards, watched crazy TV shows, walked to the local ice cream shop, and just had so much fun! Not to mention (and we feel a little guilty) that Nate and I had a fabulous room. Now, I only have my pictures on this computer so the following pictures aren't a complete overview of the week, but its as good as it gets right now!

Dying the Easter eggs. The next day while we were at church, some adults sneaked home and hid them all. It was a free for all when we got back and it was great!
She got the traditional breakfast in "bed" only it was in our room at the table so she didn't spill. She still loved it!
We had a multi-person celebration on Jayci's birthday. We included all of the people who's birthdays were within two weeks of the date. We played games, ate dinner, had cake, and opened presents. Jayci loved it, even if she didn't show it during the presents!

My mom bought each family these adorable glasses to wear for birthdays. Logan was the cutest, taking them off each time he opened a present so he could see but putting them straight back on afterwards.
Self-explanatory.

The kids climbed to the top of the lighthouse and then posed for an engagement picture.


My cute family.
The lighthouse had this huge trial thingy around it that led to rocks that the kids loved to climb on.
It was so picturesque.

Some of the cousins hanging out in the morning.

Nate and Kyle braved the projected rainy forecast and made it to a Phillies game. Nate was so glad they did, since he has a goal to go to each major league park.

The grandma and grandpa with all of the kids. It was a bit windy and some of the kids (Izzy) were struggling a bit.
Griffin just wanted to run straight to the waves every second he got. It seriously did not matter to him that it numbed his feet. He just wanted to play in the water!

Treyton and Jayci loved being buried in the sand and making sand castles. Jayci collected lots of seashells and Treyton loved playing with his cousins.

We love our Woodruff Family reunions and can't wait until the next one!
