Spring Break has Sprung!

Tonight wraps up nine glorious days that Ron had off work for Spring Break.  Oh, how we love having him home!  We were blessed with a string of sunny days which gave us ample opportunities to get outside to work in the yard and to go on some little adventures around town!  Besides working on our gardens, garage, and grass, we went for a walk and a picnic on the sound, took a trip to the zoo, and attended the Daffodil Parade.  Here are some pics of the day trips we made...

Ron, Lia, Logan, and me taking a stroll down Rustin Way on Monday, April 9th.

And playing with papa!

On Wednesday, April 11th, we went to the Point Defiance Zoo.  Par Lia's request, our first stop was the carousal!  Here is our little girl riding around on her half horse/half mermaid named, "Seaweed," that she chose due to the fact that Ariel is her favorite princess at the current moment!

Next stop:  Strawberry ice cream in the zoo's cafe!

After the carousal and the ice cream, Lia was finally ready to look at some animals.  Sharks were her first choice!

Our little family mascot, Logan, cruised around the zoo in his stroller like an old pro!

On Saturday, April 14th, our town hosted its annual Daffodil Parade.  It's about as "homespun" as you can get when it comes to parades.  I mean, where else can one find Harley Davidson motorcycles decorated with daffodils?!

And a big, bad fire engine, too!

Mama with Lia and her new, yellow balloon that was much more fascinating that posing for our picture.  Oh dear.

Ron and the kids!
