We started out Spring Break with a trip up to our new homeland so Becca could meet up with the school counselor to explore scheduling options and the other kids could tour their schools. She was happy to learn that instead of taking Calculus (which I think is pretty useless) she can fit more electives in her schedule that she's actually interested in. I'm definitely excited about the education elective options at the kid's new schools that just seem to fit their personalities and interests better.
We had some fun at the Craze Fun Zone but the best part was discovering all of the fun features of the vacant land behind our home now that the snow has finally melted enough to see the ground.
Our house is the light tan one just below Jacob's right hand. Pretty sure my kids are going to have a blast hanging out with the neighborhood kids in this fun tree fort although it could definitely use a little more reinforcements. The large flat area behind him could make for some fun 4 wheeling tubing fun to break up the long cold winter when everything is covered in snow.
Near this small thicket of trees it looks like a small creek might run by during some parts of the year. I had so much fun wading and exploring in the creek with my cousin Kami during summer vacations. I sure hope it takes the developer a long time to get moving on to the next phase! The homeowners were kind enough to let the kids take a first peek at
their rooms on a quick walk through of the home when I had just asked if
I could take some pics of the backyard to plan my garden/swingset
spaces. They filled us in on some of the other fun features of our
neighborhood. Right now (until they build the next phase) I'm told we have a beautiful view of the Rexburg temple off in the distance from our family room window. I think we'll adopt the current owners tradition of floating the river nearby on the 4th of July. Hopefully that will make up for losing our awesome view of the fireworks from our current backyard.
Old tree stump and apparently a construction dumping ground are "out of sight" beyond a berm and past the 4 wheeling trails.
