Fun in the sun

On Sunday I finally had a day off and Chris took the kids and I to Coeur D Alene. We knew the weather was going to be beautiful so we decided to make the best of it. Our first stop was at the dollar store because I seem to always find the neatest things there! After that, we walked next door to Payless where I found myself, (that's right, it was MOM'S turn) an awesome pair of shoes. Next we drove next door to Wal Mart. We had a couple things in mind that we needed and ended up buying more that we didn't need. We bought a Nintendo Wii a few months ago so on Sunday we bought Wii Fit to go with it. It has a great yoga workout along with a lot of fun games. The whole Wii Fit works on your balance. I have the balance of an elephant on stilts so I didn't know how well I would do. The yoga really works on stretching and of course, balance. Chris and I both really enjoy getting on and doing it. Another really fun game on there is Hula Hoop. What a blast! You have to really swing your hips as though you are Hula Hooping and catch more rings when they toss them to you. Believe it or not it really gives you a work en'!



After Wal Mart we headed to get a couple happy meals and take them to "play park" The park is down by the Coeur D Alene lake and just gorgeous on a nice day. We fed the seagulls our french fries, walked on the beach, and played at the park for a couple hours. It was really great to be outside after being cooped up all winter.



We decided to buy Lauren a new bike for Easter. She is 5 and its past time to get her on a bike. It has training wheels of course and the fun streamers coming from the handles! Just like I had when I was little. Its so strange at times to think of life and how quickly things change. What I would do to be 5 again. And ten years from now I will more than likely being saying "what I would give to be 30 again." We told Lauren that the bike was for someone else and she believed it of course. She was trying to be such a big girl about it not being for her she said "I bet Hanna will really love that bike" I can't wait for Easter so we can take her for a ride.
