We had been looking forward to spring break since the winter. We love a week with no school. For us, that means everyone is home together. Owen informed me the other day that he likes it when we are all home. (so cute) To make it even better, Joe took the week off as well. The weather wasn't perfect but the Dargans had a blast. We always have fun together. Sunday started off with "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." (that was not my favorite part of the week, but the kids loved it)
On Monday, we headed to Alstead Farm for a hayride, hay climb, Easter egg hunt, and wagon ride. (all smiles) The Dargan kids are so easy to please. On Tuesday night, we had Hibachi.(a Dargan favorite). On Wednesday, we saw Rio. The kids loved it, and even Joe and I had a few laughs during it. On Thursday, we headed down to Point Pleasant. We love the boardwalk. Everyone can be a kid on the boardwalk. The kids loved the rides and Joe and I had a blast watching them have so much fun. We remember how much fun we had when we were down there as kids, and we still love it. I want my kids to experience that excitement of being down the Jersey shore. After a full day at the beach, we stopped at Grandmas and Pop Pops for dinner to end the day even better. Friday was another adventure for us. We took the kids to Great Adventure. We started off with the Safari which was incredible! There were lots of laughs, especially when the giraffe was almost on our car. Next were the rides. Ryley could not wait to get on a roller coaster. Ryley and I went on Rolling Thunder. She laughed the whole time and I smiled at her and enjoyed watching her and listening to her. We held hands and laughed together and just had so much fun. It was one of those times I will always remember. We talked as we waited on line and we were both so excited (God, she is just like me). At one point, she held my hand, then hugged me and said "I love you mommy." Did I say how much I love being a mom? The boys headed to Loony Toon land and loved it! Even though Ryley became a roller coaster pro,she still loved going on the rides with her brothers. At one point, Ryley and Joey had their arms around each other as they walked. It was an amazing day. Saturday was a special day. It was time to visit our puppy. We took a 2 hour trip to PA to visit a litter of pups. The pups were all over the kids. They enjoyed every second of it. Joe and I smiled again as we looked at our kids and said "those 4 are amazing." They really are. I have never been so proud in my life.
