Spring break

Sydney had the week after Easter off from school.  We had the perfect mix of friend time, family time and down time.

Brody came over to play one morning while his mom had a doctors appointment.

Blowing bubbles and swinging - oh, to be a kid again!

Beautiful trees on our walk

No naps = early afternoons at the zoo.  It was especially chilly this week so we had to bundle up to stay warm!

No zoom!  I love how close to the animals you can get at the zoo!

We headed to Sea World the next day.  Cole was in charge of where we went... 

Touching feeder fish

Another view of Mission Bay from the sky tower

Sweet kiddos - they got along SO well all week!  Makes me excited for summer.

Another zoo meetup - this time with the Ducotes!  Sydney asked for her hair in pigtails this day.

We finally rode the carousel in Balboa Park after the zoo. 

Hiking at Mission Trails

Of course he finds the biggest stick!

So pretty!

Nature selfie

I organized a hiking trip with some moms from our Moms Club in Coronado.  Not a bad turnout for the first one!The kids all did so well - I think it helped having other kids around.

This way says leader Sydney!

Taking a break to climb trees

Bathroom break! :)

Friends!

After - water and snacks for everyone!

Such a fun week off!
