Spring is finally here! Some of you (like us) already got to enjoy your spring break. For those of you who haven't I bet your wondering what to do with the kids all break. We sure kept busy and came up with this awesome list.
Summer is just around the corner and before you know it you'll have the kids around for 2 1/2 months.
