Woot Woot!

Spring has sprung at the Molder's house, a few days early, but none the less, we are full force into soaking up the sunshine, putting on the sunscreen, licking up the popsicles and getting d-i-r-t-y! My kiddos love playing at the park next door and around the block. Price is a monkey and loves to climb all over the place while acting out scenes from Batman...or as a army guy saving the world...or as a firefighter to the rescue. Maggie Beth loves to roam. She will get lost just watching her feet as she walks aimlessly into the abyss. We left on Thursday and spent the weekend at the lake. It is spring break so Price is out of school. Poppy went down the night before and we left after I got off work. Price loves "the river" as you may have heard in blog posts past. This weekend, he was able to exercise a little freedom. Boy, oh, boy. He thought he was big stuff. He has a friend named Gage, who is 9 years old that he likes to play with when he is there. Gage's grandparents have a spot at the resort too. Price and Gage would ask to play at the park. I would say yes, but asked Price to check in with me before he and Gage went anywhere else. Price did great! He was very responsible at coming back and asking me to go play on the firetruck (vintage truck parked at the resort for children to climb and play on). He would come back with Gage and ask to play out in "the field." Every 10 minutes or so, I would go check to make sure he was where he said he was going to be; and he was. The boys rode bikes, played superheros, flew kites, did crafts at the art room, and watched a movie at the drive-in theater on Saturday night (on the golf cart). They walked the Trail of Terror and drank juice boxes. At the end of the day, Price was filthy and tired. After he filled his tummy and cleaned up, he crashed hard every night. Maggie Beth was very laid back, but very busy...kinda like another Margaret I once knew....mmm. She walked a mile in her sandals everyday. She collected rocks, picked flowers, went for stroller rides, threw stones in the river and rode the golf cart with whomever was willing to take her. We were all so excited to start up the lake season again. It is special to all of us for different reasons. Poppy likes to fish, Yaya likes being away from her schedule at home, Price loves the adventure, Maggie Beth likes the new scenery, I like the laid back feel of the whole weekend and Jon likes being on the boat. Whatever the reason, this is the season for "the river!"
