Our Trip to the Zoo






Yesterday we spent Easter at the zoo! We went to church on Saturday night, so after the kids found their Easter baskets, we headed to the zoo. The weather could not have been more beautiful, but I am not sure the girls completely enjoyed the trip. Just a few minutes after we arrived at the zoo, Ellie said she wished that there were more rides and less walking! Olivia loved seeing the animals, but after about an hour, she told us that she was tired and ready to leave. :) I was a little sad because I LOVE the zoo! It is such a happy place and I love to watch the animals. Oh, well, at least we spent some quality time together!

A Break to Remember

I have been on spring break this week and it has been the best week! I have enjoyed the girls more than ever and am SO excited about the summer. This is the first time I have truly felt like I have two little girls rather than having a baby. We have had a ball. We slept in, snuggled in the mornings, attempted Monkey Joes (Olivia isn't quite old enough for this to be super yet), played outside, did spring pictures, ran errands, went to have lunch with Daddy, and hung out at home. Tomorrow the girls are going to daycare for their egg hunt and Easter party, Saturday is Olivia's birthday party and the Easter service at church, and Sunday we are taking the girls to the zoo.
I just want to remember this break... it has definitely been my favorite one since I have had both girls. Nothing special, just easy... that makes it memorable. :)
