Catching up--the end of February vacation

Here's a glimpse at some of the other February break activities we did, after the water park visit. The water park and stay in Jay was definitely the highlight, but the rest of the week had high points too. :-)

I love when they sit together for activities. Patrick is getting more into drawing/art.
I'm trying to start good handwriting habits with Will. We shall see how it goes!
Both boys love boots. Will told me he was ready for preschool in this get up! 
I had some school work to do, and I think Patrick just got bored. He feel asleep on the floor, winter boots on. (He LOVES putting his boots on all by himself!)  
This one's for Uncle Tim. :-) Patrick loves Will's GFS truck!
We did get some snow...enough for Justin to use the new snow blower. This has not been a good year for having a new toy like that! Will begged for this shovel every time we were at Hannaford (our grocery store). I told him I'd buy it whenever we finally got snow. He remembered. :-) We took a walk around the block like this. I pulled Patrick with the rope around my waist. I felt like a horse! 
Happy to have snow!
    
After walking all the way around the block by himself through a few inches of snow. I guess it's tiring when you're only three feet tall!
We went to an open gym at a gymnastics center. The boys loved the foam pit! Patrick was a little tentative, though, and stayed in this corner the whole time. Moving, but not much! Sorry these photos are blurry--hard to get those action shots with a phone camera!
Will did not hesitate and he loved the foam pit!
Lots to explore!
My sweeties!
The long trampoline--great fun (but hard to get a good picture!)
At Burlington's Mardi Gras parade...Will was very excited for it to start!
Waiting...
Patrick loved the parade, especially the beads!
Check out the beads they collected!
We met up with our neighbors by chance, and ended up spending the rest of the day together--parade, then dinner at the Crafts' house! Awesome!      
Checking out the action on Church St. Always interesting...even more so on the day of the Mardi Gras celebrations!
