At the end of March we were busy with trips to the zoo, our last classes for co-op this school  year and enjoying the lovely spring weather.

Learning about the Bonobo’s at the zoo.

Sprinkler fun.

Dani’s first flower from a boy. And cute photo from a slide.

Papa and Grandma

My dad and Brooke drove up for the day to have a Mother’s Day lunch with my aunts and Grammie. After lunch they came over to our place for a quick visit before heading back to Houston.

Dani’s 3rd Birthday Party

We had Dani’s birthday party planned for breakfast at a park and the night before it looked like we might get rained out. We decided to go forward and as we were driving to set up, the rain hit. Our friends were great about it and the kids had a blast in the rain. In practically every photo I took, the kids are running!

Dani got really cold at one point and so Mike wrapped her up in his hoodie to keep her warm. She loved it.

Running, running everywhere.

The kids all had a blast and I am glad that we decided to go ahead and have a rainy party. The only thing we didn’t do was the pinata because I didn’t want the candy to get all muddy 🙂

Owl Class Field Trip

The kids who get to do the 3rd year of museum school go on a field trip at the end of the year to the Botanical Gardens. The trip is lead by Miss Spotted Bear who works for the museum. She is really sweet and knows a lot about trees and animals.

The kids are checking out this little pond and Miss Spotted Bear collected some of the water for the kids to look at and discuss.

They found a cool insect that she packed up to take back to the museum. (the photos I took of it were too blurry)

Feeding the turtles frozen peas.

I am glad that on our walk we didn’t come across the prior owner of this skin 🙂

I had a great time with Amelie and her class exploring the Botanical Gardens.
