Kicking off Spring Break! Jacksonville, Fl 3/22

We were so excited for Spring Break to start! This year we decided to take the kids to Florida and explore all the amazing places and things Florida has to offer. Since it is so far, we decided to go part way to Jacksonville then stop over night. We found a few fun sights to check out enroute - one of which is the Tuskegee Airman Memorial. Honestly it was so cold we didn't really explore as we normally would.



When we got to Jacksonville we realized our museum pass was good there so we loaded up and headed downtown! It was an awesome museum and we even saw an alligator turtle (he's hanging out under the bridge the boys are on) He had algae growing on him! It was gross and sad.



Then we went inside and saw the planetarium show - which was nice to sit in a cool, dark room with cozy chairs.


After seeing the huge water fountains in the city center, we headed to a yummy mexican place for dinner before heading back to our hotel and relaxing for the rest of the night.







 

My birthday

My birthday. I'm old. The end.


The best part about my birthday is getting to talk to Kallie on the phone AND actually getting a photo from Ben! Grandma and Papa took him out to dinner on my birthday. Seriously, that is the greatest gift they could've gotten me! Spoiling my boy when I'm not around to do it myself!

Andrew All-County Performance

Andrew auditioned for all-county band and made it! We were so excited for him! After two postponements due to the crazy weather we've been having, they finally got to preform and show their stuff. They did a great job and it was so fun to see them up there on the stage!

Andrew and Emma go to Mormon Prom

 Andrew is so funny. In the morning he isn't going to prom - in the afternoon he has a date. This kid! Andrew invited Emma, and Sam invited Zara. They made a fun little group and enjoyed traveling all the way to Alexandria. They enjoyed 2 dinners, followed by a midnight dessert at IHOP. All in all I think he had a great time!







And then we played with chickens and fed them dried mealworms.
