Spring Break ~ Yahoo!!

Well, today marks the "official" start of Spring Break in our household. The kids and I are all off of work/school until Monday! Brady, unfortunately, does not get the pleasure of enjoying the week off with us, but we know that he is with us in spirit. :)

We started the week off by visiting the San Diego Zoo today. It was an incredible amount of fun! The kids loved seeing all of the animals, and having some quality time with Mommy. We hiked (literally) all over the park (I'm confident I have completed enough exercise today to last me the next several months!), and checked out the many fun creatures that the zoo is home to. The boys' favorite place to hang out was the Reptile House, and Kourtney especially enjoyed watching the flamingos. She cried when it was time to leave the "pink ducks." By the time the day was over, they (I should say "we") were all exhausted. Kourtney managed to take a small ciesta in the car, but the rest of us were in it for the long haul. All in all, we made it home in one piece, with lots of stories to share with Daddy.

The picture above shows Kourtney sharing her python expertise with some poor kid that somehow got roped into listening to her. I'm not sure how or why that boy was forced into listening to a two-year-old explain all that she knew about those huge snakes, but somehow, she managed to capture his attention. Fortunately for me, he didn't seem to notice as I snapped a picture of this teaching moment in progress.




This picture is of the brotherly love that Cristian and Kieran were sharing today. It's such a rare thing to witness that I had to snap a picture! Actually, despite their many tiffs, they do love each other dearly. You can never find one without the other practically attached at the hip!

Here's to a great rest of the "week off" for us!
