Spring Break...

It's Spring Break for most kiddos in the Queen City this week. Spring Break can either be REALLY fun...
IF YOU'RE HERE (I hate you a little if you're here)
 

Same routine (except for no school)...
IF YOU'RE HERE
OR no fun at all...
IF YOU'RE HERE (unless here is your happy place)

Hope your week is full of at least a little but of fun (see the fun to be had below), and not too much off-the-routine chaos. Just think...summer vacation will be here in just a few short weeks!!! Not sure if that's a good thing...
 
Blessings,
The Buzz
