Spring Break!

I LOVE spring break! I enjoy being home with my girls, staying up late, sleeping in, and enjoying the perfect weather. We had a fun week just staying close to home and being with each other.

We started the week at the girls' basketball banquet. They played for Upwards this year, and it is a wonderful program for kids to learn bible verses and spend time together playing a fun sport. The banquet consisted of a fun magic show and yummy snacks after the show. Ava spent the magic show sitting with Cami and Mrs. Jerkins, our favorite preschool teacher!

On Monday we made a trip to the dentist to get the girls' teeth cleaned. That was quite an adventure. Elia was terrified of the little spin brush they use to brush your teeth so Ava, the little sister, had to go first to show her how easy it can be done. Ava was a pro and acted like it was no big deal, which is wasn't. However, Elia was not convinced. She truly acted like a 2 year old getting her teeth cleaned and I was mortified. It will be Kevin's turn to take them in 6 months! The good news is no one had any cavities! We spent the rest of Monday and Tuesday inside taking it easy. The weather was cool and rainy so it was a good day to stay inside and relax.

Wednesday was a beautiful day outside so we spent most of that day playing in the cove. The weather was perfect. It was about 75 degrees and sunny. The girls played with Miley, rode bikes, rode their electric scooters, and played basketball.

We spent Thursday at the zoo. It was even prettier outside than it was on Wednesday, and I believe all of Memphis had the same idea we did about spending the day at the zoo. Kellie came down with Caleb and Allie and joined the girls and me on our adventure. Both parking lots for the zoo were full so we literally had to park in a neighborhood about a mile from the entrance. However, once we got in the zoo it did not seem so crowded. We saw the panda bears, watched the sea lion show, checked out the reptiles (everyone except for me), and rode a few of the rides. My favorite part of this day is when all the kids were riding one of the rides and Allie yelled "This is best day EVER!" It was a great day, and I don't want spring break to end! The best news is that we only have 10 weeks until summer break!!!!
