Spring Break Fun!!

The kids were SO excited to have no school for 2 weeks.  It was so nice not to have homework or as many things scheduled for 2 weeks.  There was lots of sleeping in, playing with friends, and too much screen time.  The highlights of the break was our trip to the beach with lots of friends from church and our trip to the zoo.

The beach was beautiful and it was actually a warm day with very little wind.  Talia and Tucker swam, boogie boarded and played in the waves.  They also played with all the sea creatures that they caught which is included sand crabs and a hermit crab.  Tucker's friend had a fishing pole and actually caught something to his mom's surprise.  It was a perfect day and the kids didn't want to leave.

 

We were also able to go to the San Diego Zoo. We have Zoo and Safari Park passes but we usually go to the Safari Park since it is closer. The zoo was a little crowded with it being Spring Break but we still had a great time. We started out in Tucker's favorite part of the zoo the reptile house. Then we went to this Bug Show where Talia was picked to go up in front of everyone. She actually was talked or pressured into eating a cheese flavored maggot. Notice the pleasant look on her face as she was eating the bug. Tucker even tried them and liked them. He said they tasted like store brand cheetos. I did not try them even with Talia and Tucker trying to convince me to do it. We were able to see most of the animals except for the pandas which had a 2 hour wait to get in. It was a very fun day! I love spending time with my kiddos.
