The girls had the day off school today. What’s that you ask? Weren’t they just on Spring Break??? Why yes, yes they were. They get so many vacation days from school. I’m lucky because I have the flexibility to be home with them, but I do wish they had a longer summer break or a fall break rather than all the random days off. I like stability and a good routine.

 

Anyway, we took advantage of the day off and the beautiful weather and headed to the zoo to meet some friends. Annabelle’s allergies kicked in and with her ears already hurting there was no chance we could stick around. Until her sinus issues are cleared up it’s indoor, calm activities for us.

 

We ditched the zoo and went to the Children’s Museum which was pretty quiet. We have a membership there and we don’t make it down nearly enough.

 

The Children’s Museum is right next to the aquarium so the girls talked me into lunch with the mermaids. All these memberships really come in handy!

We sat right by the tank and this fish stared at Annabelle the entire meal. If she moved it followed her. As Gwyneth said “CWEEPY!”.

After lunch we went back to the Children’s Museum for more firetruck and dancing fun.

 

We used B’s birthday movie passes to see Rio 2 and then came home and made chocolate covered strawberries. Yum! It was a busy day, probably a bit to much for a sick little girl and definitely too much for Gwyneth. She was asleep before her head even hit her pillow. I guess we’ll just have to relax the rest of the weekend and eat these strawberries.
