The first week of April 2008 marked itself as the "FIRST EVER SPRING BREAK" for Anika! As most of you know, Anika is a girl who insists on planning every moment of every waking hour of every day! She was sooo sad that her friends Garrett and Elizabeth weren't going to be around to play with... what on earth was she going to do?? The snow was almost gone but there is too much gravel on the road to ride her scooter or bike - we really didn't want a field trip to the Children's Hospital ER with a head injury so early in the season... the park was too wet, and its hard to swing with rubber boots on - they always fall off when she pumps her legs.
We started the week off with a play date at her friend Angela's house on Monday afternoon. She had a blast!
Tuesday Anika, Sophia and I met our friends Wendy, Connor and Liam at the Forks for lunch at the Pancake House then went and watched some children's entertainers and Anika and Connor had their face's painted.
Wednesday we went to Stay and Play which is a play group that Anika's friend Angela goes to and Anika has gone to a few times and loves it, then in the afternoon we went bowling with Wendy, Connor and Liam... and a few of their friends. It was so much fun... much different from bowling on the Wii... the balls are much heavier!
Thursday afternoon brought us to the Manitoba Museum (formally Museum of Man and Nature) with Angie, Caden, Livia and Jack. The kids had so much fun running around looking at everything there... I think Anika's highlight was going on the NonSuch (Sp??) and making her Canoe at the Voyageur Exhibit.
Friday's field trips brought us to the Library for story time with the Scary Fairy... I mean FairyTales with the Story Fairy. Anika had a great time and listening to the Fairy talk about her friends (lady bugs, frogs, ants, birds) and nature. Anika thought it would be great to let all the kids know (most of them were about 3 years old) that she saw 2 birds this week... but they were DEAD! I think I turned 40 shades of red. In the afternoon, we headed out and got Mommy's hair cut LOL
That was spring break! When I asked Anika if she had a great Spring Break her answer was "Oh yah Mom - it was awesome!"
Mission Accomplished!
