    Quotables April 3-9: Spring Break

    Quotables April 3-9: Spring Break

    By Meredith Hirt

    Join us on Fridays for Quotables, everything that caught our eye this week on the web. This week, the kids are on spring break—what have they been up to? We found them at the park, on the beach, and hanging out with the Easter Bunny.

     

     We know it's one of your favorite times of the year! Happy #SpringBreak! Classes resume Monday, April 13. 

    What was the best thing you did this week?

     

     

     

    Is there an #Easter Bunny out there that doesn't seem at least a little bit creepy? #spring #boymom #momlife

     No reason to let clouds hold you back.

     

     

    My son, age 4: "Dad, she's kicking me!"
    My daughter, age 7: "Am not ... I was just high-fiving him with my feet!"

     High-five to that clever answer.

    Staycations can be the best vacations.

     

     

     

    Even on a rainy, cold day the 1st trip of the year to the beach is very exciting! #springbreak
