We have several activities and trips planned for Spring Break, and they will be all happening around Easter weekend. Jannah's SB was kinda strange, it was only Thursday-Monday...what happened to a whole week?? Even with a few days, we are packing in some fun...the local way!
Our first morning started with the making and eating of these edible bird nest. We are so happy to see signs of spring and thought we could celebrate by making these, not to mention, the kids had an excuse to eat a lot of jelly beans!
After that, we were off to Long Acre Park for a picnic and lots of playtime! 
Did I mention the most adored attraction at the park were the ducks? Bless baby J's little heart, he wanted to catch a duck or goose and hold it, SO bad. It's a wonder he has legs after the amount of chasing he did.
These ducks and geese are so used to people feeding them, they will come get a piece of bread right out of your hand.
Feeding them...we gave them a hearty lunch of wheat bread

After a long day at the park, the kids had a lemonade stand at our house in the afternoon. They were very successful and had so much fun running it; their friend and neighbor, Kolby helped them. It was so windy, they were lucky the wind didn't carry them and their stand away. If I have not said this before, let me just tell you that the mid west is mighty, mighty windy!Day two: We ventured out to the St. Louis Zoo with my friend Amy and her three kiddos. It was a great idea and we did have fun...BUT, it was sooooo crowded we could hardly move; not to mention the hour and a half it took us to get a parking place, thanks to traffic!!!! We didn't see many animals (due to the mass of people), but we did have fun and enjoyed a nice picnic lunch. It was just nice to be out and enjoy the sunshine

In the kids petting zoo, there were goats that we could brush...who knew?!?!
My sweet friend, Amy. She's my neighbor, the wife of a retired Marine and mother of 6 kiddos!!
Jamison trying to smile, the bright sun was kinda making that difficult! Look at the beautiful flowers...I'm so happy to see signs of Spring!
