Spring break

Last week was spring break, and we had a fantastic time doing some of our favorite activities at home.

First, we struck out for the zoo to see the new African Safari exhibit with all of the new elephants. However, the first elephant to be on display saw the crowd, became spooked and was ushered back to his new home. Skip thinks he may have seen all the Alabama Crimson Tide gear (i.e., Big Al the elephant) and probably thought he had somehow gotten mixed up with a weird elephant cult.

No matter... we had a great time anyway exploring the petting zoo, riding the carousel and seeing the other, non-spooked animals.





We dined out a couple of times... al fresco, of course.



We tried out a couple of playgrounds that are not in our neighborhood:




We celebrated birthdays with Grammie and also Poppa:



We logged on a few times to do a little work:



We also spent a morning making cookies in our Easy Bake Oven!





We played outside a lot, mostly blowing bubbles, picking flowers and...






... and playing football!






We are returning to regular routines and schedules today, but last week made us eager for summer. How about you?
