Spring Break

I have bathrooms to clean, floors to mop and weeds to pull....but my poor blog has taken the back burner long enough.  I eventually will try and do ALL of my past posts, but I am just going to start from the most resent first.  So Spring Break it is.  As always we toy with the idea of doing something out of town, something big like another cruise or Disneyland, New York, Hawaii and throw our Wedding Anniversary in there and it makes a big trip even more tempting...but alas there is something called responsibilities and money that always seems to bring us back to face the reality.  Matt didn't have work off, so the kids and I pulled out our POGO pass that we got a great deal on last June and mapped out the week.  Thanks to that pass, it was a really fun and inexpensive week.   I have tons of pictures and not really a whole lot to write about. So here are some pictures with a few snippets of narration.

Superstition Farms is close by our house and they happened to have a fee entrance day so I figured PERFECT!!!  They had a deal for $5.00 you get to feed the animals, have a hay ride, a glass of favored milk and a dish of ice cream. Elena and I had been there before, but Cody had never been.  He was surprised that it was so fun!!!  Although he did not want to ride a horse.  But Elena was WAY excited!!!! as you can see from her expressions on her face.

The horse's name was M&M and he only has one speed.....Slow.  I think after watching Elena ride, Cody was thinking he could probably handle a horse ride, but he still insisted that he was fine not riding it. 


The kids enjoyed the hay ride and we even got to see a baby cow that had just been born a hour ago.   

Then we  headed to the Milk Bar where the kids got to choose from 12 flavors to mix into their glass of milk.  Elena chose Strawberry and Cody picked Orange Cream.

 The petting zoo was really fun!  Again Cody was surprised at how much he liked feeding the animals.  You have to remember that as a young boy Cody was very shy and very unsure to try new things, he loved to observe.  And now that he is bigger and more willing to give things a try he is always saying, "That was different then I thought it would be...that was really fun!!!

And then we ended our day there with a nice dish of ice cream.  Cody  chose Blue Cotton Candy and Elena picked Pink Bubble Gum.
