Spring Break Fun

The kids and I have been blessed by Tim taking time off from work this week. He told the kids that we would try to do something fun everyday. Here is an update of our week thus far:

Monday
We went to the Science Spectrum to see the elephants and animals from Kenny's Korral. Both Zach and Calyn rode an elephant and fed the goats (which is a very big deal for Zach!). Abby was not a fan of getting too close but enjoyed seeing the animals from a safe distance. We also went inside the museum and played. Thanks grandma for our membership!
Next we headed to Chick-fil-a for lunch followed by home for naps.
After nap we went to the park where we played and exercised. After all the exercise, we went to Dairy Queen for ice cream.

Tuesday
The kids and I investigated the new cupcake shop on 34th street. After naps, Tim took Zach and Calyn bowling. They bowled three games while Abby and I went to Target. We all met at Market Street for dinner and then did some grocery shopping.

Wednesday
We headed to amarillo to visit the Gomez family. We ate lunch at an ice cream shop called Malcom's. The kids got ice cream cones that were turned upside down and decorated like clowns. We then visited the zoo. I think Abby enjoyed the animals the most. The older kids enjoyed running wild and playing with each other. Zach was really disappointed the zoo did not have zebras. I think he likes zebras because they start with Z.
After the zoo, we visited another park and the kids really played hard. After the park, we visited a while at the Gomez's house. It was so nice to see and hold baby Eleri. She is now 7 weeks old. Amazing! Mali and the twins did not have a single fight, which is almost unbelievable. It really made for an enjoyable visit.
On the way back to Lubbock, we stopped in Tulia and had dinner with my aunt and cousin. We also had a good visit with them.
We got home about 9:30pm. Everyone showered and then met in my room to watch 2 recorded episodes of what the kids call, 'the family with all the kids.' The twins got into bed about 10:30 and were asleep by 10:32. Another almost unbelievable event!

Thursday
We spent the morning running errands. We mainly got Zach and Calyn cleats and pants for t-ball and Calyn some new running shoes.
This evening we had their second t-ball practice. The weather was great and everyone had fun.

That is it so far. I hope everyone else is enjoying their Spring Break or at least maybe Spring.
