SPRING BREAK

We went to Scottsdale for spring break. It was so nice to get out of the wind for a week. We had a few rainy days but we had a blast swimming and relaxing. Thank you grandma and papa. We also went to the wildlife park zoo and aquarium. It was really cool. In the zoo the animals where all really active and really close. You could almost touch them. They also had a really neat aquarium with a all white alligator, penguins, eels, stingrays ( which the kids could touch) tons of cool stuff. It also had a really cool petting zoo with baby deer, llamas, giant tortoise's. The kids LOVED it! It was a great break and fun week!

Harvey was in a science fair at his school. He did his project on animal tracks. He had to find the animal tracks and make casts out of them, then explain how he was able to get them and research which animal they belonged to. He found a wild turkey, elk, javalina and cow tracks. It was a lot of fun. He had to make a presentation on a board and also do a oral presentation in front of the judges. He did really well.

Feels Like Spring

The weather this week has been so nice. It feels like spring but I know I can't get my hopes up to much yet. Colten and I enjoyed a day out with Jay to move some cows. It was just nice to be out and enjoy the weather. I had to snap a few photo's. Colten told us " now that was sure a fun day wasn't it dad and my favorite part was getting that cow in the shoot and doctoring her she was pretty mad wasn't she dad. Mom you better be careful cause when you go out those cows run over you." That kid lives for days when he gets to mess with cows and ride.
