Spring Break: Part 2

This will be the last of our Spring break. Mazie spent some time working on her big Science Fair project over the break. While I will show more on this topic later, I will give you a sneak at her working... It's really a great project. I promise to give details and more pictures later.

Now on with a day at the zoo. It was our first trip to the zoo this year and we had a blast. Since the wind was howling, we decided to let the kids pick one thing each to see and we would spend as much time at that exhibit as they wished. With yearly passes, it's not a waste to go see one thing (or three). So Jamie picked the giraffes.

I just thought those two were kind of funny with their bums together.

Mazie chose to stop in the Budgie Buddies exhibit. The kids love feeding the birds and trying to get them on their sticks...

We surprised the kids with a ride on the ponies. This was Jacob's first time riding. He was so excited and did such a great job. He even told the lady that he was "three" and chatted with her.

It was Mazie's first time riding the bigger pony. She was a little scared but she did a great job!

And Jamie was an old pro on the same pony Jacob used.

Then it was Jacob's turn. He picked the primate exhibit. Jamie was pretty fond of this guy. It seem he was of her too.

They made faces at each other for a few minutes before we had to move on...

To where Jacob found a buddy to chat with. He even kissed the glass before moving on.

But really you know it was a good day when two of three kids pass out on the way home, right?

I guess Mother Nature decided Spring Break wasn't long enough because school was cancelled today. We had maybe an inch of snow this morning but the roads were pretty bad from what Jeremiah said from his drive to work. As of now, most of the snow is gone and will be in the next few days since it's going to be back into the upper 60s!
