Well... It has been I think two and a half years since I have touched this blog and I have missed keeping things updated so I am going to try this whole blogging thing again!
Today is the last day before the kids are back at school from a two week spring break. They have had a jam packed spring break week and I think it will be good for us all to get back into a routine. They had a week off while I was still working so Monday-Wednesday they spent time with grandparents and had a blast. Wednesday night Ally had some breathing issues and ended up in the hospital for a few days (more on that in another post) and then we had Easter and a trip to Great Wolf Lodge (hopefully posts on those as well!). I was starting spring break for our Great Wolf Lodge trip and once back we had a day at home to recuperate and then on Friday we met Paul for lunch, had a trip to Barnes and Nobles, followed by an overnight in Illinois with their cousins. Saturday was a birthday party for Cam Cam followed by the zoo today! Definitely a crazy two weeks and I am looking forward to next week to get our house back in order because I have a week off when the kids are in school.
Ally's favorite animal is still the giraffe. When asked what she would like to be when she grows up she has consistently answered a giraffe feeder for over a year. She's in luck that our Indy Zoo allows you to feed the giraffes and they each got two turns today to feed them carrots. Our zoo also has a baby giraffe that was born two months ago. She has been so excited to be able to see it and today was our first visit when the baby was out for the public to see. She asked if she could take him home!
The zoo also has new lion cubs. We spent a ton of time watching them today and they are so cute!! Huge but I just want to cuddle with them! We were able to see an impromtu training/feeding session for the cubs that was so cute to watch. Paul has some video of them making cute growls at each other while waiting on the food.
No zoo trip is complete for our kids without a train ride so we had to make the ride and it was super cold in the wind!
Sam's favorite animal has been consistently the dolphin. He loves the dolphin underwater pavilion and could watch them swim for hours. The dolphins were pretty active today with the jumping and playing so it was nice to view for a bit. It is really hard to get good photos with the lighting but we always try.
And some other fun photos from our trip!
