Spring Break 2013

 I was so excited that Steph brought the girls up on a day of her Spring Break!  Usually we go to Harrison because everyone is there, so it is always a special treat when someone comes to us!!  The girls started playing right away. Especially the three bigs- Liv was running all through the house, haha.

 

 After lunch we decorated sugar cookies, and ate them of course!

 

 Then Steph and I made a bold move to SKIP naps and head to the zoo in the COLD.  Yes, I willingly and on purpose had Elise skip a nap.  The Heather of yesteryear would ne'er had considered such a thing, but I have learned to bend a little with child two.  (a little)  When we announced that we were going to the zoo, these kids just flipped!!  It was so fun watching Ing because she has only been to the zoo once and she was just so, so excited. 

 Double bonus was that Amy Jo, Will, and Walker had called and they were driving up from Harrison to go to the zoo, so we had mega friend power that day!

Elise wouldn't walk with me, but had no problem walking with Amy at the back of the pack! She loves her so.

As Steph said, this raccoon was awesomely weird crawling up the fence to see us.

 Truly the best day.  Steph and the girls stayed until bedtime and as they left Elise dissolved in a fit of tears begging them to stay.  Couldn't even brush her teeth without bawling...
