The Highlight of a Spring Break

 

Really, the only notable thing we did while the kids were off from school all last week was a quick trip to the zoo.  Gary left work a little early that afternoon and met us there which made it much more fun.  We only had an hour and a half to cover the place so we had to move fast. 

The older boys have been there so many times that they didn’t even want to go and had to be forced.  The two youngest still get so excited and I love it.   

 

This is the grizzly Gary was howling to.  I wouldn’t recommend it myself.   

 

Can I tell you, the primates this day were showing the worst manners!  Every one we walked up to look at was doing something way inappropriate.  Usually I marvel at how human they seem and it’s usually my favorite part, but this day they were just being too, too gross.   I’ll spare you; no pics of that.

Should I go along with getting a haircut and make my mom happy or should I not go along with a haircut and make my mom unhappy? Hmmmm….

 

Here you can see Sam’s new watch.  It’s pretty massive.

This may have to be our Christmas card picture.  I finally have one with all four kids and no one is being too goofy. 

And this one is pretty good of us, but Jack’s not in because he was taking it. 

Caroline’s definitely in her cartwheel phase these days.  Everywhere we go. 

All Sam wanted to see was an elephant.  We saved that for last and once we finally got over there, there were no elephants to be found out in their River’s Edge habitat area.  Not one, but he did see this fountain as we were leaving. 

You can see it wasn’t thrilling him. 

  

I think we’d better plan another zoo trip.
