Us vs the Kids: Surviving March Break

Surviving March Break

The children are on their March Break holidays. It's killing me. The first couple of days, all of them were sick. There was a lot of lying around the house feeling miserable. When I thought it couldn't get any worse, they got better. Then it became a lot of lying around the house whining. Yesterday, I had to get out. We went to Starr Gymnastics.

I took a couple of photos:

Katie - learning how to swing on the ropes

Bethie

Sarah - she held onto that Dora ball almost the entire time

Sarah and Bethie

Katie - she jumped off this a billion times

Sarah "bouncing". That was her favourite thing to do. Dan is the background, falling. It cracked me up.

Bethie

Katie - The world is a stage, and we are her audience

I couldn't believe that Katie jumped into the "foam pool"!

Operation: Knock 'Em Out worked! They were exhausted!

Alicia said...: Awesome! Looks like you had a blast and a pretty empty space - lucky! We love it there. That picture of your husband falling just made me laugh out loud haha! Little E holds on to the dora and diego balls when he is there too!; March 3, 2011 at 11:06 AM
Gwen said...: Alicia: There were about 15 kids there, and the ladies running the show said that it was "busy". I don't know why I find it so funny that Dan was falling, but it cracks me up (he's going to be annoyed when he reads this and sees that I've pointed it out!).; March 3, 2011 at 11:15 AM
Alicia said...: We go Friday evenings and there is a minumum of 30 kids there plus parents. This past Friday I counted over 60 kids...it was insane.; March 3, 2011 at 11:46 AM
Gwen said...: Alicia: WOW! That's shocking! We went yesterday at 2:30. There were lots of little kids between the ages of 1-5. I guess we got lucky!; March 3, 2011 at 11:59 AM
Bibliomama said...: Love that place, although it's pretty much in the past for us now. My friend and I sent our four kids one summer and Eve pointed out that she and her friend Marielle were 'the youngest full-dayers'. What good is camp if you can't get rid of the kids for six or seven hours minimum?; March 3, 2011 at 12:29 PM
Lara said...: Looks like you had fun! And is it just me or are those twins suddenly looking way too grown up?!; March 3, 2011 at 12:34 PM
Gwen said...: Bibliomama: Know what I love THE BEST about Aylmer? You can ditch your kids for ELEVEN hours for the low price of $7!!!

Lara: Yup, those twinnies grew over night!; March 3, 2011 at 1:13 PM
