Spring Break

We took last week off for Spring Break. I think we were all ready for a break. The first part of the week we really didn't do anything. The boys did their usual: playing games with each other, watching movies, playing video games, fighting, arguing, etc. I decided I'd better take them somewhere so we didn't sound too lazy. 

On Thursday, I took them to COSI. All by myself! Since Bond actually goes to work, he wasn't able to come with us. Pretty sad in a way because we really enjoy going places as a family. Unfortunately, Wally still had school. His spring break was the week before. So, at COSI we went to the Gadgets area first. The boys love to put the little balls in the shooter to shoot them out. Plus they have these 3 pulley chairs where you sit in the chair and pull yourself up. Depending on how many pulleys there are it's either pretty hard or pretty easy. Then we went to the submarine area. Dinodude and Rocket love going in the submarine. Surprisingly, we didn't go to the water area. That's my favorite place. I could sit there for hours just listening to the water. After that we went to the traveling frog exhibit. I had no idea there were so many different kinds of frogs! Their favorite was the most poisonous. They're the most colorful. We saw Steelers frog and a Michigan frog! The kidspace area was last. Pokemon King and Dinodude are too old to actually go in the kidspace, but they have a little area where they can go to play video games. Obviously, Pokemon King didn't like that! (wink, wink!) After that, they were all ready to go. 

Friday we went to the zoo. It was such a nice day, so of course, everyone else had to go too! We saw the crocodiles, alligators, snakes, lizards, manatee, bats, and a few others. We really wanted to see the new baby elephant, but we weren't the only ones! The line to see it was 2 hours long! We did not want to stand in a line for 2 hours! We also packed a lunch to take with us and we sat down and ate it there. It was a pretty fun time.

I didn't take pictures at COSI (forgot my camera!) But, I remembered to take it to the zoo; however, I forgot I had it until we were almost done. I did manage to take a few:
