Note to self: Plan something fun for Spring Break next year. I did not plan ahead so well this year, and we ended up staying home with nothing to do. So I had to get creative... It turned out that we had a little fun - not as much fun as the beach, but more fun than school, for sure... or so I'm told. Here's the story...
Day 1. It took about half minute before Jane Bradley was crazy bored. So I pulled out a cake mix and let her have at it. I helped her read the instructions, but that was about it... bought us a couple of hours at least!

Day 2: I called a last minute babysitter and threw the bigs in the car to meet some friends at the zoo. We had a fun time, and I met my quota for the Jackson zoo for the year :)
You know, you can see the Guh-jraffs - that's what Beckham calls them (and if anyone corrects him, I will never forgive you.) - right when you walk in the gate. I love this picture - because of the two that follow.
They both thought the giraffe smelled terrible.
The animals were not as big of a hit as the huge, fake dinosaur eggs that they wanted to run in and out of.

| Of course, when you see fish up close, you make a fish face... |
Cotton candy is on JB's list of favorites. Beckham doesn't like it. He thinks it's just plain weird.
We finished up the trip on the carousel. And he chose the tiger because, obviously, it's the fastest.

We played outside the rest of the afternoon. These pictures make me smile...
