More March

The week of March 14th we had "Spring Break" around here. Spring Break is kind of a strange thing when you only go to school twice a week. I had the feeling that it would be like any other week, but how wrong I was. Actually, from my perspective, it changed the whole dynamic of the week. We were free! No obligations, no appointments, no school, no dance class. It was great!
We started the week by baking some chocolate chip cookies--Here's Scout, still nibbling.
And here's Ruby, after shoving in what remained of her cookie.
And here's both of them. Scout is scooting away from Ruby because Ruby is trying to steal her cookie.

We also took some time to go to the zoo with friends!
Here's Scout with her friend Mira as they rode in the backseat. We all rode together, since Mira's mom drove us down to Denver.
Here's Ruby and me out side the carousel.
Here we all are riding on the peacock on the carousel.
Here are Scout and Mira checking out the polar bears.

Then we had a surprise visit from our Denver playdate friends Hilary, Hayden and Lachlan (no photos). So nice to see old friends. Then Lexie came with Ella and Addy last Thursday (again, no photos). And best of all, we got a phone call last Friday that Grandma Margie was going to make an impromptu trip our way.
Here's Scout and Grandma at the park. We had great weather while Grandma was in town.
Ruby can do some slides by herself now. Whoa, big stuff.
There are two random statues of painted turtles by the reservoir. Here's Ruby on one.
Scout on the other.
Everybody doing some swinging.

March continues to be a fantastic month... I keep waiting for the snowstorms. As everyone tells you when you move to Colorado, "March is the snowiest month." Hmm.
