About a week before Spring Break, Kyle came to me and informed me "Mom, next week is Spring Break. That means we can go on a trip. How about we go to Florida or something?" Florida isn't exactly a trip you plan in a week, but I thought this might be the perfect opportunity for us to take a couple of days and go and visit Jeanine and Elijah in South Bend, Indiana. A check of the calendar, a few phone calls to arrange the trip and the Rieger's to take Grandma for the duration of our trip...and we had a trip set in stone.
I worked Wednesday night, came home and slept for a few hours and we were on our way. We were able to get to South Bend after a couple of hours. The kids played football for a little bit and then we journeyed about 45 minutes away to a beach at Lake Michigan in St. Joseph, Michigan.
We were able to get a number of really great shots, but there are too many to include all of them in this posting. Check out the slideshow for more pics....

Nicholas drew our family name in the sand :D
Kyle tickled our hearts when he got out of the car with his cape on and light saber in hand. What a cutie!
Jonathan and Maria
Jonathan...so glad to be on vacation! (even if it is only for a couple of days)
Jeanine and Maria happy to be together again :D
Nicholas happy to see the water
Luke building a sand castle
Dylan standing at the water front. He enjoyed walking around barefoot and going in the Lake. You know it was freeeeezzzzing! Crazy kid!
Jeanine and Elijah Wicker...our fabulous friends
Jonathan sitting in front of a sand dune
Nicholas wanted his feet buried in the sand

This is my favorite shot of the day! Jonathan and I argue over who took it :D
Jonathan collects Trains as one of his hobbies. His dream is to be a train engineer and drive trains.
You thought the kids were bad about having to leave. Jonathan was so distraught over leaving, he threw himself on the railroad tracks. LOL :DThe weather was decent compared to what it has been lately. It would be fun to come back again when the weather is warm.
