Spring Break 2008

Spring Break was a huge success this year and it is about time I blogged about it and posted some pictures!! I always like to something for each day of Spring Break. I LOVE it when all of my kids are home together and we can go and do things! I am really looking forward to summer. Here were the outings for Spring Break:
Monday: Gainesville Zoo
Tuesday: Thunderstorms ALL day. We stayed home. It was not too safe to get out.
Wednesday: Movies- The Water Horse The kids really liked it.
Thursday: Six Flags
Friday: Bowling
The kids love the Gainesville zoo! It was Frank Buck's birthday (founder of the zoo) so admission was only $1! woo hoo!! That is just perfect for a mom with three kids! The zoo is just the right size for little ones. Stephanie Purser and her crew met us there. We started off with a picnic and playing at the park. We then went through the zoo and then let the kids play some more when we were done. Elizabeth, Austin, Sammy, Whitney, Lauren, Emmye, Hannah
The kids' favorite stop is feeding the animals. Sammy and Austin did a great job. Lauren wanted to but just wasn't sure. Maybe next time.There was a stump on this old tree that was just perfect to sit on for a picture. The was the first time for our kids to go to Six Flags and they were VERY excited!! The trip took longer than expected. I think everyone in the metroplex decided to go the Six Flags on the same day! It was actually on the news that Six Flags had to close their gates that day because of the high volume of people...great! We did get in that day around 2PM and boy was it crowded!! We started by eating a quick lunch in the car. After we got into the park we let the kids ride a few rides before we went and got our season passes...which also took FOREVER!! After that, we ate some dinner and rode the train by the the park had cleared out and all of the rides at the kiddie park we clear!! We let the kids ride most of the rides for the next hour. They would get off of one ride and go directly onto another...sweet! We left the park at 9PM and we were all tired. The kids had so much fun and can't wait to go back! I love this picture! Austin and Sammy are having so much fun!
Austin and Sammy were excited about meeting the characters. Lauren didn't want her pictures taken with them.
Riding on the train around the park.
This was one of the kids favorite rides...the swings!

The kids love to go bowling, so we met up with Stephanie crew again in Sherman and went bowling! We took Alyssa to spend the day with us. Austin did a great job! He was so sweet helping his sisters!

Lauren and Sammy got to use a ramp for their bowling ball. It was perfect and they like using it!
