Spring break started with a mid-day training at central office followed by a quaint lunch with Suszane, which is where we planned this...
A "mommas and their boys" double date to the zoo!
The dino trek was all new since the last time we went, and the boys were a bit reluctant at times because they all seemed so real. Moving parts, spitting water, roaring, what's not to love?!
The elephants!
Just like out elephant sandwiches we packed for a zoo picnic.
Speak of zoo picnic...
We had all kinds of little visitors come to survey our lunch inventory at this park blanket picnic lunch.
The kangaroo exhibit!
We got to walk around WITH the kangaroos and pet the ones on the path. We even got to witness and kangaroo stampede, which was pretty cool but very intimidating.
And, what's a trip to the zoo without flamingos!?
Our "moms and boys" date was so very much fun.
The next day involved a quick trip to Birmingham for a little time with the BFF and some outlet mall shopping with Nani. Sam asked me to take this picture of him after he posed himself with the Banana Republic mannequin. Love this boy and his sense of humor. Lucy was just in it for the food and the lego table at Carters. Love her.

Quick return home just to pack my bags again for a SALT team retreat at New Frontiers. Midnight mountain climbing (blind-folded), bonfire talks with s'mores, extreme games and giant swings off the side of a mountain. It's the most experiential way to seek God. It's scary and awesome and amazing. That's me (and my climbing partner, sweet Eli) at the top of a 60 ft. pencil pole. Let me tell ya, none but Jesus could make that one possible.
Finally, we closed out the week with piles of laundry and some rockin' horse riding lessons. Sam started off the session with some advanced skill riding, and finally, Lucy joined the club and rode the horse all by herself for the very first time. She was so proud of herself.
I'm tired but thankful for such a wonderful week.
Now it's back to work to finish out these last 34 days with style!
