I do realize that Spring Break was almost two weeks ago, and I'm just getting around to blogging about it! We didn't do a whole lot after that busy weekend we had. It took us about three days to recuperate :) Here is a summary of what went on during our week off:
We slept in everyday!
I FINALLY organized the girls junk closet. It was so bad before that I didn't even want to take a picture of it.....shameful. You couldn't open the door because they kept throwing stuff in there! Anyway, it's now cleaned out, and believe it or not, it's still that way :)
Worked on Carlie's research paper on Abigail Adams.
She is such an organized person when it comes to her school work. I'm not sure where she got that from because if you've ever seen my desk, well, you can't see my desk!! It's a wreck most of the time...and so is Carlie's room, but not her work. I'm so proud of how much effort she puts into things, just to give them that extra "Carlie" touch :)
On Thursday my grandmother, Grammy went in the hospital and stayed the night. It was gallstones, but she sure didn't feel very well. She will have to have her gallbladder removed sometime. Thankfully it wasn't anything worse than that.
On Friday Carl took off and we went to the zoo. It was a little on the cool side that day (who would have thought we'd call 70 cool in March?!).
Makena and Trey by the gators. They were a favorite.
I take a picture of them every year in the bird house. They are getting so big now!
The gorillas were out and about that day. They really put on a show pounding their chests. I've never seen them that way at the LR Zoo.
After we left the zoo we didn't want to go home just yet, so we went down to LaHarpe Landing and hit up the Nature Center and went for a walk on the bridge. The kids had never really been down in that area, and Carl and I have only been there at night, so it was fun!
Carlie was not in the mood for my pictures.
We even got to see some classic cars at a Car Show. Carl loved this Camero.
It was a fun family day!!
