Jude after a long ride on the Peloton

Jude had his Spring Break this week and we, obviously, spent the whole week at home. Luckily that is what he usually likes to do on his weeks off. This week, though, he was quite active. We bought a Peloton which arrived last weekend and Jude decided he would start riding it. And ride it he did. He rode 25 miles three days in a row this past week on top of his usual basketball as well as soccer and football in the park. He still had plenty of Minecraft time as well, and many episodes of his favorite show, The Office. Then today, we both ran a 5K around Wash Park.

Olive playing in the snow this week

While we have had some nice weather we often get snow showers in April. This week we had an inch on Monday and then Thursday about 4-5 inches. Olive absolutely loves the snow. When we let her outside she gets super active, burying her face in the snow, and sprinting around the yard. She also loves to go to the park and fetch the frisbee and if there are other dogs to play in the snow with that is heaven for her.

Volleyball in the front yard (with our new badminton net)

Thankfully, with warmer weather on Friday the snow was all melted by Saturday morning and our new badminton net arrived. Our last net was a cheap one and it broke after one season so Marcy decided to spend a bit more for a higher quality one. Anyway, the kids decided to break the net in not with badminton but with a game of volleyball.

One other game we played a couple nights this week after dinner was kickball in the park. We took a foursquare ball up to the park with cones for bases and then had a family game of kickball. Marcy had to do double duty, throwing Olive the frisbee while she was playing kickball.
