A Break For Spring

It took me a week to finish this post because I wanted to use it as a photo dumping place. Here you will find all the details on the super exciting vacation we took as a family during Spring Break 2018.
Just kidding... we never left the Atlanta area. Ha!

Spring Break 2018 was a tad different than those of the past. This year the Cain Fam decided to stay home and do some spring cleaning. Coach and I have worked very hard to throw out, de-clutter, organize, and get ready for some #LifeChanges that will soon come in the summer. (More to come on that in the future.)

Here is how we celebrated the Spring this year:

Saturday-Sunday:
Easter weekend with family.




Callahan has spent 2018 becoming more and more obsessed with eggs. We hide eggs, hunt eggs, open eggs, close eggs, cook eggs, eat eggs.... the list goes on. Calla ended her Easter season with a grand total of 5 egg hunts. Hopefully that satisfies her until 2019. We told her the Easter Bunny had to take the eggs back and bring them next year. All eggs have been successfully packed away. (All but the five that are still in the tub.)


Monday-Tuesday: Major cleaning out. Nothing was safe. Coach was able to part with two shirts from his closet. (eye roll emoji) Me on the other hand.... it all goes! (I do have a crazy problem with keeping Calla's stuff. Why?)

Wednesday: A trip to the zoo!

Would it be a break without a trip to check on our favorite animals? We actually met up with some new friends and had a blast meeting them and touring our favorite city attraction. I am to the point that I just let Calla guide us all around. She knows where the good animals are!




Thursday:
Coach had to take Wynn to the vet. We noticed a huge lump on his throat. I was slightly freaking out. Dub is the craziest dog ever. He gets into so much mess I can't even tell you.... yet he is pretty tough. We have been super lucky in all of his adventures. Wynn on the other hand.... sweetest stinkin dog ever. He is so calm. So kind. Never making a mess. Just so sweet. He apparently got a bug bite and blew up like a balloon and wasn't his super happy self. Luckily we have a super awesome vet that fixed him up in less than 24 hours. I am happy to report all is well!

I should also use this as a quick rant: Shelters get Weimaraners all the time. People claim they are too much to handle. Too hyper. Too much. These pups? They just need love. I mean.... hyper? These dogs?


Friday:
Friday I was up early to get all the cleaning done. After naps (I say napS because Coach doesn't let a break go by without a nap.)

When everyone was up from their naps we loaded up to head to the local farm for some strawberry picking. Calla LOVED her first picking experience. She would pick and eat them all! We had to take the bucket to help her fill it. She probably ate 12 berries off of the vine.












Then we sat on the grass and enjoyed probably the best ice cream ever.





On the way home we let Calla hold the bucket of berries where she ate about 21 more berries straight from the basket. Pre washing. Mom of the year here.


Once we were home we did our absolute favorite activity ever: blow up the jumpy house, sit outside in the driveway and fuss over the Pandora station. This is where Calla sat in my chair and enjoyed 56 more strawberries... that still weren't washed. I'm winning.


This smile is the best!

Our stay-cation was just what we needed during this crazy busy time in 2018! It just has Calla Girl SUPERRRRR ready for a beach trip this summer!

The Real Life Coach's Wife Life

 In 2011 blogging was a bit of a lengthy status update for social media. Coach and I moved away from "home" and it was just a fun ...
