Spring Break 2009

Okay be prepared for pictures. I'm not sure the best way to put a lot of pictures on here so if anyone knows I'm open for suggestions??? Well it's nice to have a spring break---feel like I'm in High School all over again (minus the raging parties and a week in a bikini, okay I've never done that). School is definitely a lot of work but it's nice to have a whole week to spend together. So for Spring Break we headed to St. Louis for a couple days with some friends. Jackson was in heaven with friends to play with ALL DAY. The weather was beautiful. We spent one day at the St. Louis Zoo (the zoo is free here and it's amazing) and one day at a children's museum called the Magic House. The hotel we stayed in was...memorable. It was one of those hotels you would expect a poor student to stay in. All I'm saying is when we first got there and opened our hotel room door there was a guy laying on the bed in his boxers---oops! He didn't seem to mind. But it was a wonderful trip. We also were able to spend a few days at home as a family. It was hard letting Tyler go back to school. Thanks goodness we have summer to look forward to.

My handsome boy.

The Gorillas. All the animals were super active and out to play.

The hippos were amazing. They just kept swimming around and around. They were a highlight of the zoo.



The Magic House.
Jackson made it all the way to the top. This "tree" started on the main level and then you climb up to the 2nd level.


Jackson loved this. When you played the piano keys bubbles would go through the pipes.

Bubble boy. So much discovery in this place.

They had a great section for the little ones. So even Olivia was able to join in on the fun.

Sweet thing.

Well our stellar hotel did have a swimming pool---the kids loved it.

We will you miss you guys when you move in a few short months.
SPRING BREAK 09 ROCKED!
