Spring Break- and the start of the craziness...

Spring Break was a little different for us this year... Abram had just had his second bone graft surgery, and Jack and Luke were recovering from the flu. Thankfully, my parents were here to help because Chris was supposed to be on a trip for work (more on that later). After staying at home for a week to let everyone get better, we finally took a trip to the beach. The beach is my parents' absolute favorite to be... we had so much fun!

I love this picture and their excited smiles!

We had such a fun time that we went back to the beach with our friends later on in the week. It was a perfect day! The kids played and the moms got to chat.

Nothing better!

The next day we wanted to go hiking. The University of North Florida has several simple trails that were just perfect for us. Our friend, Eli, joined us and we all had a great time! It was shaded and it had tons of sticks and exciting things to explore.

And on the last day of Spring Break (or so we thought), we explored downtown. Abram had a early morning appointment and we decided to make a day of it. The first thing we did was to take the SkyWay through town.  This tram is free and we have never been on it, but we have seen it. The boys were in heaven! They thought it was so cool!

When we got off the tram we were in Hemming Park. The park has a huge mouth for some reason, so of course we had to take a picture! Across from Hemming Park is the downtown library. This library is beautiful with so many fun places to explore. Our favorites were the huge staircase and mural and the courtyard. I was so happy we made it here... they ended up closing all libraries that evening for Covid. 

After we explored downtown, we had one more stop to make... Treaty Oak. I have been wanting to see this tree since we moved here. Its the oldest tree in Jacksonville and it is huge! The boys would have loved to climb it, but of course you can't. 

We had a great week at the beach, on hikes and touring downtown. So happy to spend it with our friends and grandparents. I mentioned Chris was supposed to be on a trip, but his trip got canceled because of Covid.  Right after our fun week, everything started closing. On our way home from downtown, I made one last trip to the boys to Target and I saw all the empty aisles. We loaded up on chalk, bubbles and an inflatable pool. I knew we were going to be home for awhile.
