Spring Break

To start our spring break off we went to Fossil Rim with my parents, brother, niece and my family of 5... all in ONE CAR!!! My dad and brother had the front seats, Caroline, Hannah and my mom had the middle two seats (we only drove through the park this way, we were law abiding citizens and had left our van in the parking lot), then Greg, Eli, Elizabeth and I in the back with the seats folded down. We somehow had a crazy idea that the babies would sleep in the car.... they did not. Oh and it was pretty crowded (because it was the Saturday before spring break) so it took us almost 3 hrs to get through the park.

We were able to see lots of animals up close and personal. We saw lots of zebras but I am only posting the one of the precious baby zebra sleeping by its momma.

See the horns? That is why we did not take my car... just in case he wanted to get closer I did not want the scratches on my vehicle:)

About halfway through the park is a place you can get out and walk around and pet some animals.

This is where the longest line was... there was about a 50 car wait to see this giraffe and let it eat from your hand! Way to go Bri letting the giraffe eat out of your hand, thanks for volunteering!

What is spring break with out a great big box for all the kids to play in?

We have had beautiful weather this week. We have been able to get outside and really enjoy it. I know the kids don't look like they are enjoying themselves, but really they don't enjoy me interrupting their play time to take pictures!

Have you ever seen prettier girls? Today we topped of Spring Break with a date with mommy. Caroline and I went to hobby lobby and barnes and noble while daddy took Eli and Elizabeth to Sprouts and Sams. Then we all went to General Granbury's birthday celebration! This is how my precious girls looked while doing all of those activities that I did not bring my camera to take pictures of them!

Elizabeth has a new way of crawling. Anytime she is outside this is how she crawls.

Mom- happy now that I have updated the blog? If you did not travel so much you would not miss seeing your grandchildren"s faces:)
