Raising a Ross: SPRING BREAK!!

Spring Break 2014

Spring Break is a very exciting time for this "teacher" mommy! This year we started off our Spring Break week with a weekend trip to Chattanooga with our friends the Ashworth's. It had been years since my husband and I had been to Chattanooga, so we were super excited about taking Caleb for his first trip. Here is a little snapshot of the fun we had.

Caleb enjoying his DVD player in the car for the first time. We have decided to save this little jewel for long trips and not everyday use. Hopefully, it will be more exciting that way!!

Our first stop was at Coolidge Park. We decided to go here first to let the boys run wild after the car ride.

At Coolidge Park there is an antique carousel, an area with sprinklers during the summer months, and TONS of grassy areas to play and picnic. We had a wonderful time watching the boys play in the park on this beautiful spring day.

Giving each other knuckles...TROUBLE right here :)

After lunch at Lupi's Pizza we went to the Children's Hand on Museum. This was an interactive museum designed for kids of all ages. Even though we were WAY past nap time I think the boys still had a great time playing at the museum.

Caleb spinning the wheel. He thought this was so much fun!

Driving the car in the pretend play area of the museum. He thought he was SUPER COOL!

After a fun and busy day at the park and museum we spent the rest of the evening eating supper at Sticky Fingers ( Wonderful by the Way), swimming at the indoor pool at the hotel and a much deserved WONDERFUL nights rest.

The next morning we ate breakfast at the hotel and headed to the Chattanooga Aquarium.

He slept the ENTIRE way home. I think we wore him out :)

After our busy and exciting weekend in Chattanooga we spent the remaining part of Spring Break enjoying the beautiful weather outside and lots of playing and relaxing.

Aunt ReRe got us an up close visit with the firetrucks. Our little future fireman LOVED the firetrucks.

After our visit to the fire station we finished our day with a trip to the park.

During Spring Break we also got to spend some time with cousin Aubrey hanging out at the park. The triplets enjoyed the day at the park as well. We can't wait until they are bigger and can run around with Caleb and Big Sister Aubrey...that will make for some wild days!
