Spring Break

We sure have been busy!

Monday - Got extended family pictures taken by the best photographer EVER (photosbynatalie.blogspot.com) Cooper had a diaper blowout 2 minutes before we got started - wouldn't ya know it? - but we salvaged his outfit and we can't wait to see how they turned out! We all went to dinner afterwards and it was great to have (almost) everyone together.

Tuesday - We took our kids to a little carnival in the mall parking lot and met Kim's family and Grandpa C. there for an hour of rides and games.

Tucker choosing from the Duck Pond

Tucker's prize - a little turtle he immediately named Sherman. They have been inseparable since!

Mitch, Kenadee, and Tucker riding the helicopter....

....and the mini roller coaster. This is BEFORE the ride, where Tucker is still smiling - HA! We shouldn't have sat the small-fry by himself!

Wednesday - We were invited to go to the zoo, and at the last minute I decided to suck it up and do it. We had a nice time, even if it did get a bit toasty as I had to hoof it up a huge hill to my van that was parked a few football fields away from the gate.

My favorite part of the zoo: petting the sting rays!!! I love this picture - a great shot of the ray swimming by, and Mitchell pretty nervous about sticking his hand in there! After the first try though, he loved it!

Thursday - we just spent all day at the park with cousins again having a picnic lunch and sand-mania. Tucker fell off the play equipment and scratched up the side of his face, the moms enjoyed the shade - good times. Boy is it getting HOT here already!

Was that the Phx Zoo? They have sting rays now? Dang, how fun. Sounds like a fun Spring Break. I'm sad that it is already getting hot there...I'll send some of our freezing weather your way (it snowed again two days ago!!!).

What a fun week!
And wouldn't you know it, I took my girls to the zoo on Wed. also.
I'm sad we didn't see you there, but then again, it was insane with all the people around there. I too had to park up the large hill at the back of the second parking lot.
