Spring break

The girls had off the week before Easter. We had lots of fun activities planned but neither the weather nor the little one's health cooperated. As it was, we did spend Monday at our friends' house which was a blast. Tuesday and Wednesday were spent as lazy days at home. Tuesday was cold and wet and Jacob was sick so we had a pajama day and just relaxed. Wednesday was a bit nicer and Jacob was feeling a little better. We stayed at home but did manage to play outside some. Thursday we actually made it to the zoo. I really like the zoo here. The habitats for the animals are very nice and this zoo has penguins which is a plus. Its a lot more spread out than the Cleveland zoo. My hopes of finishing the whole zoo in a few hours were quickly shattered. We spent a large portion of the day there and barely made it home before the skies opened and the rain fell. My only complaint is that the zoo is hard to get to and that problem is intensified with a ton of construction and road closures. Not as easy as taking 90 to 71!!
Jacob was hilarious. He really enjoyed the animals. He'd jump up and down while pointing and screaming. I love the Hippo exhibit since you can see through glass to their watering hole and watch them swim underwater. We never made it to the seals and sea lions which are some of my favorite zoo animals. We'll have to hit them first next time. We thought of all our zoo buddies in Ohio (and Colorado now) and wished you were with us! Friday Jacob and the weather relapsed (guess we shouldn't have gone to the zoo) so Friday was also spent at home. We colored eggs and made paska (a Ukrainian Easter bread) It was lots of fun.
