Spring Break!

Last week was Blake's Spring Break and we had a blast! We finished the bathroom, fixed the whole in the ceiling and wall in the kitchen, hung the ceiling fan in the kitchen, finished the back of the bar/island and did the rest of the finishing touches in the kitchen. It is nice to not have any more huge projects. Well, we are going to refinish the dining room floor, but that doesn't seem big anymore compared to the other projects we've done.

Tuesday we went to a place called Lake Farmparks, which was a blast for all of us. We all got to milk a cow:) Broden didn't want to, but the rest of us did. We also got to see baby pigs, sheep and also horses, rabbits roosters, cows, alpacas and llamas. We also go to learn about making maple syrup. It was quite a process. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.


On Thursday Blake's mom came in to town. We all picked her up at the airport, then came to our house for an hour or so, then left for Pittsburgh. In Pittsburgh we went to Phipps, botanical gardens. Swam in the hotel pool, then Friday we went to the zoowith a side trip to the sports fields on the way, dinner and swam some more. Saturday we went and rode on a little thing like a train car up the mountain. It was an awesome view of the city! Then we came home to spend some time at home playing games and seeing some church sites and other things around Cleveland.

This is the view that all of a sudden comes in to view when you are driving into Pittsburgh. It was amazing!
