Spring Break Trip to the Zoo

 This Spring Break, we decided to have a "stay-cation" and get some projects done along with just enjoying time at home together.  We got the kids rooms all rearranged to make room for the new baby.  Here is a funny picture of the kids helping paint Will's room.  We decided to not take any chances with Will's clothing and just used his Home Depot apron:)  They had the best time helping and did a really good job!
After spending all of that time at home, we decided to take a quick trip to Little Rock to go to the zoo and do some shopping.

We got started with all of the different monkeys and gorillas.  It was right after the zoo opened and they were really active and funny.  

 This was our first time to see the newer penguin exhibit and the kids loved being able to see them swim. 

 The giraffes are always a big hit and are just so beautiful!

 After seeing all of the animals, we took a ride on the zoo train!

 And we had some fun with the cutout boards too:)

 We ended, as always, with the carousel.  This was Will's first time on it, and he loved it!
It was such a nice and cool morning and we really had a good time.  Afterward, we had a picnic lunch and checked all of the items off of our shopping list.  When you live in a small town with very little shopping, you have to keep a continuous list for when you go to the "city":)
