Spring break kick off...

Ah, Spring Break time!  We've all been looking forward to a break from school.  

On Saturday, Will wrestled again.  Will and I went over to South San Francisco Friday night and stayed in a hotel so he could get over to the tournament on time without having to wake up at the crack of dawn.  I stayed and watched him wrestle.  I was going to go home and have him get a ride with someone else but he only had three matches so I stayed.  

We spent the rest of our Saturday doing yard work.  We love having a yard...but so far it has been kind of a disaster out there and we don't get to spend much relaxing time out in the yard, yet!

Sunday was Sadie's 9th birthday.  Sadie wanted a Relative Race party...and since we are her relatives, we got invited!  Seriously, Sadie didn't want a friend party, she just wanted her cousins.  Such a sweet girl.  We split up into family teams and had to complete five tasks.  It was so fun and really funny.  First was the marshmallow toss.  The Dave Anderson family won that game easily.

Then we had to complete a puzzle, race to the location of the puzzle and take a family picture.  I think the Dave Anderson family beat us on that one too.

Then we had to build a lego house using all of the legos in a bag.  The house did not have to be functional or pretty...so we won that round.

Next, we had to drive a remote control car along a course.  One person did the front and back directions, the other left right.  Will and Wyatt were a pretty unstoppable team.

Last, we had to find Easter eggs that had been tossed over the fence by Aunt Angela, open the eggs and unscramble the word inside.  Then race back to Angela and give the answer (Sadie!).  I think we made it back first but only by a smidge.  Then all of our times were tallied for each event.  The Will Anderson family had won one more event than the Dave Anderson family but they had the shortest overall times so they were the winner!  That marshmallow toss really got us in the end.
