Spring Break 2010

It's official we have survived the worst winter NJ has seen in any of our lifetimes (not to mention a very rainy start to the spring). Something close to 75 inches of snow and what has felt like an equal amount of rain. So when we came out of the freeze we decided to get out of the house! Our little man had a few play dates - one with a new friend from music class Marisa and one with Olivia and Caroline - the beautiful twin daughters of friends of Lindsey and Dan!




Then just as it started to get cold again we escaped on Harris's first official Spring Break... Spring Break is a big deal - for years (actually only since we graduated from college) Marteena (Harris's Aunt Marteena) and I have dedicate one week each spring to the celebration of the warmer weather. In the recent years Uncle Josh and "Dad" have joined the fun - this year Harris got to join in on Spring Break 2010; which was only made even more special because Uncle Alex and Aunt Megan joined in!

We had a great week at Grammy and Pop's place on Siesta Key.



Mornings were spent relaxing and waiting for the sun to get warm enough to hit the beach. Harris wasted no time and found lots of things to do in the condo... including figuring out how to open the coffee table - or as we now call it the baby apartment.





and using the laundry basket as a kayak... (quite different then the kayak Dad took out to see the scary alligators... but you will have to visit Uncle Alex's website to get a look at those -

Then in the afternoons we hit the beach and the pool. The little man still loves the sand; he loves the water even more. The ocean was way to cold for a swim, but we spent time digging in the sand, got our feet wet in the freezing water and then went back to the condo where Harris took full advantage of the heated pool - he even put his face in the water!



While away Harris turned 10 months - can't wait to see what this month will bring!
