spring? are you sure this time

petting zoo

After our morning safari, we ventured into the petting zoo. At first, the girls were really excited, but Bella then got a little worried about the animals. May have been the deer eating Mimi's jacket or when the white antelope started to run away from another child. I think the animals were overfed in the petting zoo b/c they were not the least bit interested in the "snacks" we had for them.

Johnson City Safari

Lindsay requested to take the girls to the zoo over Spring Break while she had a day off. However, we heard the SA Zoo was packed all week due to Spring Break and the beautiful weather. When I was teaching kindergarten, we took a class field trip to the Johnson City Safari and I remember it being a great visit. We saw hundreds of animals, but our favorite part was definitely the zebras and camels. Goober followed us, I think he had a crush on Granny. Bella's favorite animal is the zebra, but we could not get her to pet one for anything. She just threw feed on the ground for them. We also enjoyed Sitting Bull and his enormous tongue. Thank you Lindsay, we are so glad you had such a great idea.

Heaters

I got the funniest e-mail from our team mom asking about pictures.  She called me the team Papparazi.  The coach asked if I would take a team photo since the other little girl could not be there for our team photo.  She asked if I had any of her son, I started going through the photos I had taken over 600 photos of the season.  Ben and I were able to put together a collage of the team as a thank you gift for the coaches.

I got the privelege of helping to write Pa-Paw's obituary.

San Angelo adventure park

Our Spring Break adventures continue --- After church on Sunday, we went to the adventure playscape in the city park at San Angelo. We had a great picnic lunch with Uncle Ryan, Aunt Marissa and Mimi. There were so many areas to explore and play in.

Our Pa-Paw

Pa-Paw went to be with Jesus last night, peacefully in his sleep.  No more pain, running on fresh cut green grass with his son, Timmy.

We are winners!

The girls had the most amazing first experience playing group sports. We had the best coaches and Coach Dan at the Y was exceptional. The first couple of games I will be honest, I thought we had made a mistake signing them up at such an early age. By game 3/4 we were so thankful we had. The girls are enrolled in a soccer camp that begins next month. Coach Dan recommended it b/c of the improvement the girls had made and their drive they had for the game. We will see how it goes with more one-on-one instruction. They really love to play, but still prefer to play with their own ball. Way to go Heaters!!

wind in her hair

While we were on the ranch going from barn to barn and back to the house, I let LE stand up and stick her head out the moon roof (disclaimer - we were only ones on the ranch, I was driving 5 - 10 mph and Mimi was holding onto her.) Bella was not so brave and was just as ecited to be sitting in her car seat with her "buckles" undone.
