First Spring Break

Once upon a time, in a long ago month called March, my sister and mom drove a great distance to spend Spring Break with me.

It was wonderful.

We had a truckload of fun.

I was sad when they drove a great distance home again.

But I entertained them real-real-good while they were here.

Just look:

I took them for a walk up to the high school near my house where my niece found a disgusting snake.

I also made my sissy pull my ancient dog in the wagon after his legs gave out.

But after she finished that chore, I took them to the beach where someone was pummeled by a sneaky wave.

But we ate lots of yummy snacks and found about a billion shells.

We even climbed to the top of an enormous sand dune, where the wind blew little grains of misery into our eyes.  But the view was gorgeous.  (I think.  My eyes were full of sand so what do I know.)

They seemed to still be enjoying my company, so I bought them pizza from my favorite little shop.

And then we took a hike to see  waterfalls.  I even let my nephew wear a CamelBak full of lemonade so he'd have to urinate multiple times during our adventure.

We headed to Trader Joe's for some grocery-store shenanigans and peanut butter cups.

And can you believe that they were still enjoying my company?  So we went swimming and rock climbing at the Kroc center to celebrate.

Heck, I even made them a green Shepherd's Pie for St. Patty's day.

We also hung out and played with toys.  And we definitely ate Uncle Myke's famous popcorn while playing Fibbage every night.

Wow!  We sure did have a wonderful Spring Break.  I'm sure my sister will want to drive a great distance to come see me again sometime.  I'm positive she will.

Please?  I made you green Shepherd's Pie!
