Spring Break

We decided to stay close to home this year for spring break and get some things done around our house. We did plan a fun camping trip though! We drove a few hours away to go through a neat drive through zoo. Nana and Pop Pop followed us down in their car then we all piled in ours! Rachel LOVED not having to buckle up! She helped daddy drive quite a bit:)
It looks like we weren't the only ones how decided to go to the zoo. Look at the line of cars!! Gotta love spring break!

This was such a cool place. The animals were so tame. They came right up to the car and ate out of our hands.

We got to see some adorable babies too! Rachel and I wanted to take these little twins home!




What a fun day! After the Zoo we found a beautiful camp site to spend the evening.

Preston was in charge of the fire


Rachel helped with the tent. Gotta love the hat!
We had a fun night making smores and sitting by the fire. We had a not so fun night of forgetting our pillows and freezing to death! Rachel "slept" with mommy in the same sleeping bag. There was not very much sleeping happening. I always say I can handle anything for one night:)


Morning did come though and a bag of powdered do-nuts makes everything right!

Still not quite awake:)


After breakfast we played by the water. It was a beautiful day.


Preston made a dam to cross to the other side. What a good big brother!




What a fun trip!

Happy St. Patricks Day!

Good morning!It just isn't a holiday around our house until you have a "themed" breakfast:)
