Spring Break

We had a really good Spring Break! We were lucky enough to have some mild weather, and even a really nice day that we were able to go to the zoo! Trenton had a bucket list of what he wanted to do on his Spring Break, especially since Mommy had been recovering from surgery. He wanted to go to This is the Place to see the baby animals, the zoo, swimming, rent "The Muppets" from redbox, go to Children's Museum, and have a picnic at the park. Due to bad whether on the last day, we were not able to have the picnic, but were able to visit the pool instead!

Grandma made it possible for us all to go up to This is the Place park to see and hold the baby animals. This only happens for 3 days once a year, and the kids love it every time! Trenton was so good reaching down and softly picking up the animal he wanted. Braxton did a lot better this year, able to hold the baby by himself without squeezing it to death...literally! We can't go there and not have a pony ride! Trenton got a little nervous when his pony decided it needed to take a potty break due to the change in position the pony had to make in order to make it all come out all right! But he ended up being constipated and the handler moved him on before he could take care of his business!

We have missed going to the zoo! It is always a nice couple of hours to go up there and stroll around and see all the different animals. Of course, when Grandma is with us the kids are spoiled rotten! They got all sorts of treats while we were there and made sure to get an ice cream cone before we left. Right when we sat down, Grandma accidentally hit Trenton's cone straight to the floor, ice cream side up. She quickly remedied the situation by getting him another. Trenton was content with his huge ice cream cone, and Braxton took advantage of the cone part that did not hit the ground. He thought he was pretty cool eating two cones, moving from one to the other every other lick or bite!
