Spring Break

I laugh as I type "Spring Break" as I hardly think Jacob needed a break from school which he attends 2 days for 4 hours at a time. :) We spent the week visiting with friends, going to the zoo, and getting ready for a weekend of Easter fun.

My college friend Kelly, who currently lives in Switzerland, was home to visit with her 4 month old baby boy, Jake. It was so wonderful to see her! In addition to our monthly girls dinner we planned a play date so we could get all the kids together. As always Allison was a fabulous hostess and her house was the perfect place for the kids to jump, slide, swing, run, ride, and play, play and play! We all had such a great time!

Unfortunately baby Jake (Kelly's) and baby Anne Harris (Paige's) didn't make this picture but here are the other kiddos.

Back Row: Henry (Paige's), Jacob, Tyler (Claire's), Caitlin (Allison's), Anna

Front Row: Avery (Claire's)Anna thought this mattress tucked behind the couch was such a fun place to play.

Tyler, William (hidden behind Tyler) and Jacob all playing at the kitchen set

After we came home the kids climbed up on our couch with books for some individual "reading" time.

The zoo is always a big hit. We went into the "aquarium" section for the first time and the kids LOVED it. Jacob's favorite exhibit was the bats and Anna seemed especially drawn to the fish. I almost had a panic attack when I saw the anaconda snake!
