What we did on our spring break.

First we had to make a plan for spring break. Miles listed his ideas on the chalkboard.
Since the week started out rainy, we opted for fort-building. What better use for plantation shutters and binder clips, I ask?
After a few library story times we ventured out big to the Children's Museum of Oak Ridge. Of course it was a free day so it was very busy, but the kids still had fun.  We went with our neighbors Fenn, Boone and Beth. And yes, Audrey wore her Little Mermaid dress everywhere.


Today is beautiful!  We hit the zoo and stayed much longer than usual. Here they got to hold a rhino tusk.
A little farther along they met Buttercup, a 23' reticulated python in residence for the summer. Buttercup's breakfast, two big rabbits, lay freshly squeezed and awaiting ingestion. Yum and Happy Easter! We also witnessed the gaboon viper being force fed a mouse. Exciting day in the reptile cove.

Finally we caught the bird show with Einstein and his new buddies, 4 rescue pups doing tricks. They were so sweet! And we made it through two carousel rides, which is big for Miles as he usually isn't a big fan.

There I am in the mirror.
Look ma, no hands!
