Spring Break 2017

We have been talking about going to the In Sync Wildlife Exhibit for a couple of years now.  We finally decided to take the kids today.  It is a rescue facility for different types of cats: lions, tigers, bobcats.  It was nice to see these animals up close, but it was sad that they are just stuck in these cages. One tiger for instance had been purchased by a family for their children as a pet after they had watched Lion King.  Excuse me? They soon realized they would not be able to care for this animal and turned him over to the rescue facility.  At least they were responsible in that regard.  

It was a beautiful day for our adventure.  Afterwards, we went to have lunch at Red Robin.  It was a fun day.  Unfortunately, we were missing Ashley, Charlie, Jay, Randy and Billy.

Spring Break 2017 Painting Day

I thought it would be fun to take the kids painting.  Kendall and Talan love to draw and color so I thought this would be perfect.  I decided not to paint so I could help them just in case.  I have to say that was a good decision on my part! LOL 

Talan did a majority of his.  I helped outline Kendall's flowers and do the accents.  She painted the insides and added the lovely dots.  Parker appreciated the part where he didn't have to follow instructions.  Adrian did his all on his own. I think they had a fun time and they have something to remember the day.  

After we were done, we went and had lunch at Frankies.  I might be selfish, but I was so happy Joanna and Parker were able to join us for something!! It's been a long time waiting for them to come home.
