Spring Break (for a 3 year old?!?)

Yes, Cat's preschool is so demanding that they deem it necessary to take a week plus one day Spring Break. And I'm really glad they did. I was afraid she would crack if she had to go through that rigorous schedule of circle time, centers, snack, Bible story, craft, playground, lunch for another 4 school days without a break. How much can a kid take??

All joking aside, I was glad that Cat had Spring Break a couple weeks ago. It gave me an excuse to take the kids up to Columbia to spend time with my Mom and sister. It was nice to be up there just for fun, on our own schedule, and because everyone's Spring Break was the same time up there, she got lots of time with her cousins.

I was very eager to go the zoo, and it proved a very fun, albeit crowded, outing. The highlight of my trip to the zoo was being this close to a giraffe:

No, I didn't zoom in at all to take that picture. Cat is feeding the giraffe and I was close enough to touch it. That's just cool!


This was Cat's favorite part of the zoo: the $2 kid-sized animal-print-car train ride. I think she liked it because there were no adults around her for about 10 minutes between loading, riding, and un-loading.


You might wonder sometimes if Jack is around for any of these adventures. Well, he usually is around, but not much of a participant. He was great at the zoo hanging out with Grammy. Maybe next time we go, he'll be able to tour it on foot?
