Henry Doorly Zoo

I thought the zoo was a great idea for Saturday, but it was really chilly when we were walking around.  We stayed maybe an hour.  Then we drove to BK to get some lunch and the dining room was closed so we ate in the car.  An hour to drive to the zoo, an hour in the zoo, 15 minutes eating in the car, and then we drove an hour home.  Not the best 3 hours but oh well.

 

Clean Your Backpack!!

I'm not sure how Maggie fit all of this into the backpack!  She was overdue to clean it out!!

 

Mowing

Mena has decided to mow the lawn for $20.  $10 goes into savings and $10 she can spend however she wants.  It's hard work but she's sticking to it!!

 

Lemon Cookies

The first zester I bought wasn't that great, so I spent more and got the Pampered Chef Juicer & Zester.  Maggie declared it was the best!  This batch of cookies turned out better than the first batch.  We just had to tweak the recipe a bit.

 

Family Egg Hunt

Saturday afternoon, our family gathered at Peg & Jon's house for snacks, drinks, and outdoor egg hunt.  It was a beautiful Easter weekend!!

 

Easter Egg Hunt

Saturday morning the weather was nice so I hid the plastic Easter Eggs outside.  They were filled with candy, except for one egg each with $5.

 

More Time in the Kitchen

Mena tried a granola bar that she may submit to the 4H fair.  Then the girls dyed Easter Eggs.  It was a fun "no school" day.
