Calvert Cliffs

It's spring break this week.  We haven't done anything too special with the kids yet, but it's been nice to be home.  School mornings go smoothly but a lot has to get done between 6:30 and 8:30.  Herding 4 kids through that process on my own each morning (V goes to work before that) is just fine but definitely requires a fair amount of energy immediately upon waking. :)

So to have a week with a few quieter mornings has been nice.  Today, I took all 4 kids on a 4 mile hike.  Kyle rode in the stroller but the other three walked/ran the whole way without complaint.  It was a lot of fun!  I love my sweet, active kiddos!

 So, baby Kyle is not happy in this photo. 

Being a great mom, I had all four of them stand on this log holding hands.

I then took a photo (which my phone didn't save for some reason) and soon afterward Kyle, then Carson fell off of the log and ended up with a face full of sand.

He wasn't too happy to be back on the log.  Haha!
