SB2012 – the Kickoff!

 

Spring Break 2012 was an extended one for us this year…we planned a week long trip to Florida on the week following what is the ‘actual’ spring break for schools in our area. 

 

I had the Thursday and Friday of the week of Spring Break off of work and the kids daycare was closed, so we decided to hit up the zoo with some friends on Friday morning.

We went with Stephanie and Kylie.

The kids got to see all kinds of fun animals!

Owen even braved it out by touching a lizard! DSCF6248

Stare down: Komodo Dragon vs. Sydney (the diva won!)DSCF6250

Kylie and Owen checking out the fish…it was really hard to get them to slow down enough for a picture, they were just taking it all in! DSCF6252

Managed to get them to stand still and pose by the penguin statue, just couldn’t get them both looking in the same direction!  :)  DSCF6255

 

Definitely a fun trip to the zoo – the kids had a blast! We need to get back there sometime again soon!  It was pretty cold the morning we were there and not all of the animals were out yet, so I’m sure another trip is in order soon! :)

Later that night, we went downtown to visit up with Kate, Mike and Megan who were in town from Wisconsin! 

The kiddos haven’t seen each other in a while and it was fun to get them together now that they’re all walking and can interact with each other more independently!

The tulips were already out, so we took advantage of some fun photo ops! :)

love the look on Megan’s face here!

Easter Sunday

A bit behind on my postings, seeing how it’s almost June! 

But here’s a snippet of Easter fun.  Since we left for Florida on Easter Sunday, we had our family celebration, including birthday festivities for Grappy, Dylan and me and the famous Easter egg hunt the weekend beforehand.

The Kiddos all lined up before heading out to search for some eggs!
