Springtime!

Last week was spring break and the kids had an absolute blast! The week started with a craft extravaganza and a whole lot of paint. The kids had plenty of projects to choose from and did a great job creating great master pieces of art. On Tuesday we took all the kids to Bielenberg Sport Center where we had the whole field house to ourselves. The kids had complete freedom and control of what they wanted to do while spending their time there. The ultimate high light was when 3 high school boys showed up and the agreed to play soccer with the trailblazers. They kindergarten boys decided it should be the 3 boys versus all of Footprints. Footprints did a great job and won 5-3, the looks on many of the kids faces was priceless. On Wednesday that fun continued with a card tournament. The kids separated into their own groups and had a chance to play different games. The kids played spoons, go fish, crazy eights, speed, and war. I know you were jealous you couldn't make it so you should ask your son or daughter to play a game with you or even better have them teach you one of our games. On Thursday the kids had a chance to go to Rising Stars Gymnastics Academy. We had some students that were hesitant about the whole gymnastics thing but I can tell you that once they got there they all had smiles on their faces. When we arrived we all met on the floor to do a large group warm up. After that they were split into 3 groups so they all could make it to every station. One group was the trampolines, one was the foam block pit, and one group was at an obstacle course that they had created for us. The kids did a great job and had a great time. Finally on Friday we could tell that the students had a long week and needed a day to relax and prepare them for school to start on Monday. We decided it was a great day for a movie so we watched "Meet the Robinsons" and let the kids have some time to lounge around.

We hope that you had a great spring break. If you didn't hang out with us let us know what you did on your break...we would love to hear!
