Spring Break - A Recipe for Fun!

Ingredients:
1 week off from school
6 active children
1 very patient baby girl
1 brave mom
1 working dad

Step 1: (Monday)
Spend the day cleaning the house to prepare for the arrival of a good friend from NY.

Step 2: (Tuesday)
After watching the rain/snow fall all morning, have a Pirates of the Caribbean movie-a-thon complete with popcorn and hot cocoa to chase away the cold, rainy day blues.



Step 3: (Wednesday)
While Dad is working from home, drive to Salt Lake City to give Dad a few hours of peace and quiet. Visit Temple Square and the "I am a Child of God" interactive exhibit at the Church History Art Museum across from Temple Square.



Step 4: (Thursday)
Take the animals to visit their friends in the zoo. (Oops ... I meant take the kids to Hogle Zoo.) Stop by Heritage Park across the street and see the famous "This Is The Place" Monument. Don't forget to be home by 3:30 for piano lessons!



Step 5: (Friday)
Clean the house, again, and pack the car for a weekend trip to Colorado Springs.

Step 6: (Saturday and Sunday)
Enjoy time with family.



Optional Recovery Plan for Mom after Spring Break is over:
Sit back and relax ... maybe watch a good movie while enjoying a nice quiet soak!
