My Favorite Thing About Spring Break

Luke turned this paper into school a few days ago. I emailed it to Nancy and my parents this morning, but thought I would add it to the old blog for keepsakes. He's so cute. I love that he tries to add in "exciting" adjectives.

My Favorite Thing About Spring Break

My family and I traveled up to Utah for Spring Break. We did lots of fun things with my cousins. But my favorite thing about our vacation was when I went to my great aunt Nancy's house in Elk Ridge for Easter.

My great aunt Nancy lives with her best friend, Julie, in an awesome house. Her house looked pretty from the outside with a white picket fence. Once you get inside her house you figure that it is super duper huge.The upstairs is nice and cozy with bedrooms and living rooms. She has a great view of her backyard on her deck in her bedroom. Something that is very cool about her backyard is that it is on a huge, green GOLF COARSE! They also had 2 decks, and one of the decks had a hot tub!

We slept in the basement and that is my favorite part of her house because it's extremely big and exciting! She has so many fun activities to do. She had a mechanical basketball game where you would have to get as many shots as you can in 30 seconds. If you get over 30 points in 30 seconds, you get a bonus round for 15 more seconds! My highest score was a 75.

She has a ping pong table and a pool table. I loved playing my brothers in ping pong. My little brother Simon thought he was really good, but he never even hit the ball over the net. But we cheered for him anyway! She has one of the first Nintendos ever made. We liked playing Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt best. She also has a lot of shelves full of movies that you can watch. We didn't really watch any movies because we had too many other fun things to do.

We slept over at her house the night before Easter and that made the stay even more exciting. It was fun to hide a bag of candy for Nancy and Julie too. In my basket, I got a lot of awesome and yummy things! I got a long water blaster for the swimming pool. I got a lot of chocolate eggs that melt in your mouth, a gigantic chocolate Easter bunny sucker, and a ton of plastic eggs with jelly beans. Some marshmallow sticks that are probably good for eating, but I just let my baby sister play with them because she liked how the wrapper crinkled. Each of my brothers got a football. Mine is green on the top and white on the bottom. And our favorite thing was package of 15 glow sticks. When we got home, we combined our 60 glow sticks into a massive circle in our living room. We called it the ring of fire!

Out of all the awesome things we did over Spring Break, going to my great aunt's house on the last day was definitely the best! I hope we can go back soon.
