Springing into Spring Break

We had a lovely spring break. It's always nice to condense my work schedule and play hooky from daycare for a couple of days. Highs of this year's spring break were:

1. Mayfield park with some friends. Little was very enamored with the peacocks while Big loved climbing on the rock walls.
2. Cameron Park Zoo in Waco. It was much chillier than we expected but that seemed to make the animals more active. We also visited Grampa in Temple on the way home.
3. Austin Nature Center with our friends on a cloudy day. Two grown ups and six kids spent at least an hour digging for fossils in the "Dino Pit."
4. Intro to Amy's Ice Cream 101 with some extra time spent climbing on the blue and purple cows.
5. St. Patty's Day dinner with friends. Corned beef and cabbage. Both girls loved the former but not the latter. No surprises there.
6. A very lazy Saturday wandering around the Natural Gardener. Big Sister was very excited at the idea of bagging her own compost. When we got there though, she just wanted to watch, so Little and I bagged some compost. AKA, manure. Yes, I let a 17 month old play in manure.

Happy Spring!
