Spring Break in review

Can't believe this week has just flown by. We didn't go anywhere, but I had a bunch of stuff for the boys to do. Just some new art supplies for them to play with, plus they had all of Jared's new birthday presents as well. Our one big outing was going to the zoo. Granted we tried to go twice, the first time I wouldn't say was a spectacular memory. On Thursday I took the kids to the zoo, it was already past 10 when I left the house (first mistake). By the time we got there, there was road construction like you wouldn't believe and then the zoo parking lot was full. I was able to find alternate parking, but it was a 15 minute trek from our car to the front entrance. Once we were inside it all went downhill from there. Nathan was too hot and hungry to be happy at all. Yes, I brought snacks, but he was already past the point of consoling with food. We needed to leave. I decided that maybe if french fries were offered, the overabundance of crying would subside. It worked like a charm. The Safari Grill makes really good food. I got a turkey sandwich and the kids had grilled cheese and fries. Since we didn't get to see any animals on Thursday, I took them back bright and early this morning. We got there at 8am and had a blast. Back in the car and headed home at 11am. Nathan just woke up from a 3 hour nap, poor thing didn't sleep well last night. I wish I could have taken a nap also, but the other monkey had me building Lego cities with him. Love spending that quality time with Jared.

Here is a few pics from the zoo.



the squirrel monkeys were so close, this one actually climbed onto his sign
