2009 Spring Break Zoo

We had a great spring break. The kids made a list of movies and activites they wanted to do. We had sleepovers and playdates. The zoo was a fun trip. The weather was nice, but a bit cold. It made for no lines!! We zipped in and around exhibits quickly. Ava cracks me up. She just had to be in a picture with these parrots. She is a total poser for pictures. No matter how many times I ask to act "normal" she freezes. She does a little frozen shoulder thing and looks everywhere but the camera. Crazy child.

Grandma and Grandpa Ripley

The kids love to go to the farm and see gma and gmpa. Mom helped the kids make the string and button toys that spin. Ryan was getting the hang of it!! Gmpa gave Ava and Joseph buckin bronco rides. The kids played for hours and crashed on the way home for a big snooze. :)

Al, the kids always have a great time when you come back. Can't wait for the big move this summer. Your turn to host a holiday!! :)

It has been so long since I have posted!!! Thanks for your patience, COCO!! These are misc. pics from the last few months of the kids. We have had a great winter and are excited for the nice weather. Ryan is counting down the days until school is dismissed for summer. :) We are staying busy with school activites, dance for Ava, and both Ryan and Ava are playing soccer. Joseph is happily tagging along.
