Spring Break!

This week was Spring Break for me at school. We had been planning to do some fun things on Jordan's two days off, but because of various circumstances, he is currently the only manager at his store! He worked a lot of extra hours this week, but we were able to do a few fun things anyway. On Wednesday we went to the zoo with Grandma. If we had known how crowded it was going to be, we wouldn't have gone! It was spring break and half-price Wednesday, so we knew it would be busy, but it ended up being a record-breaking crowd. It was even on the news! They said that there were 23,000 visitors that day, which broke the previous record of 17,000. So now I need to take the boys again, so that they can actually see some animals! (We did see some, but had to miss several things because of the lines...)

Gresham got an ice cream cone, which was one of his favorite parts. He wanted to see "a bunch of elephants" and "a bunch of alligators." The last time he was at the zoo, he was only 11 months old, so he didn't really know what to expect. Unfortunately, the alligator was off display, but when we were leaving they had a baby alligator to see in the parking lot. A lady was holding it and showing it to people to entertain them while they waited in line for 3 hours to get tickets. (Okay, maybe it wasn't 3 hours, but it was pretty bad!) Gresham loved the baby alligator, and said, "It's so BIG!"

This is a typical Aidan face.

On Friday, we went to the park for a picnic. It was a beautiful day! Aidan took his bike and had fun riding.

Now it's back to real life for next week!
