Spring Break- Part 1

I thought I would break up my Spring Break post because I already have so many pictures and we've been doing lots of fun stuff!

Jackson has been so excited about Spring Break. For one thing he knew Kevin would be staying home and for another thing he knew we were going to the zoo. For several days leading up to Spring Break he would ask if it was "spring time" (meaning Spring Break) yet. We've had gorgeous weather and here's what we've been up to:

Lots of outside play time! The kids are so happy to be outside. Emmy loves it and gets a huge grin on her face if I ask her if she wants to go play outside.



Jackson is sporting his green for St. Patrick's Day:


Kevin has spent lots of time working on the patio and Jackson's been helping. It should be done soon!


Also, this week marked the first pool day. We brought out the little baby pool and the kids have had so much fun. Emmy is not afraid of anything- loved sliding into the water and being splashed in the face!



How cute is this girl in a swim suit:


I wanted to post this picture to remember and show Emmy one day. This is how she sucks her thumb. Her thumb of one hand is in her mouth and then she holds onto her other arm. This is how she always sucks her thumb!



Jackson loved throwing water on himself (because we told him he couldn't throw it on anyone else!) and sliding:




And we also made it to the zoo today. Jackson was so excited and had a ton of fun! I didn't get too many pictures but here's Emmy first reaction to seeing her first animal (the giraffe). Not real sure what to think:


Then she liked it:


And Jackson roaring like a lion:



So far we've had a great Spring Break!
