Spring Break.

Luke has Spring Break this week, so he's enjoying some time off from school and extra time with the family. The weather has been gorgeous here, so we're taking full advantage with lots of outdoor activities.

Spring Break / Day 1:
Luke spent Sunday night at Mimi and Papa's, and Jami and Reid joined the crew in Denver on Monday. Luke got a glowing report from his grandparents ... guess he'll be coming back for another overnight again sometime. Also on Monday's agenda was park time.

Spring Break / Day 2:
We headed to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo ... along with the rest of Colorado Springs. The zoo WAS a zoo with all the people there! We waited 30 minutes to get a parking spot, but it was well worth the wait as we got to use our zoo membership for the first time, an Easter gift from the Nelson grandparents. The giraffe exhibit was our favorite, and the bird house was super smelly (we might have to bypass that one next time!) What better way to spend the day than with our animal friends!


Luke feeds this giraffe a cracker. He was pretty brave. Reid was content just watching Luke take the risk of getting his fingers licked.

The boys enjoyed time at the zoo playground ... and climbing on this metal bug. It's not everyday a bug is the same size as you ... thank goodness!
