Spring break this year was a staycation, as Gene returned from Singapore the day before spring break began. Despite not traveling, we had a lovely break!
Spring break started with Henry's acceptance letter from Kinkaid. We all had hoped he would be accepted and were absolutely thrilled and so proud of our boy when we clicked over to the Kinkaid website at 4pm to read the "congratulations!" letter. We decided to celebrate, and Henry chose dinner at The Melting Pot. We had the best dinner and Henry grinned the entire time.
Nana and Pop joined us for the celebration.
Spring break was fairly quiet, but Gene did take a couple days off work. On Monday, we headed west to Bellville to visit Newman's Castle. It was absolutely delightful, but nothing like visiting a castle in Europe. Still, if you can't make it to Europe over spring break, this place is a lot of fun.
The boys made friends with an Irish wolfhound.
We also stopped to snap a picture with the giant bust of Stephen F. Austin in Bellville before visiting the Bellville Meat Market. Bellville is a cute little town!
On Pi Day, Will opted to stay home with Gene, but Henry and I visited the science museum in Sugar Land for some Pi Day fun.
Henry can recite Pi to 41 places.
We also came home with a bunch of gifts.
On our way out, we found a couple making giant bubbles for the kids.
At the very end of spring break, we went hiking at Sheldon Lake State Park. It was a cool day but we did manage to spot a snake on the boardwalk.
Having a staycation after a busy beginning to the spring semester was exactly what our family needed.
