Happy Friday! I CAN'T BELIEVE Spring Break is over! Spring Break landed early this year, but I know that summer break will be here before we know it.
I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. Here we go!
Quite honestly, this has been one of the BEST parts about Spring Break. Dustin has been off this week so we've been letting the kids be our alarm clock. 😉 We've been taking turns sleeping in (and by sleeping in, I mean like 7:30AM haha) so we've gotten some really nice rest this week. You don't realize how tired and run down you are until you get a chance to get some good sleep!
Our highlight from the week was our trip on Wednesday to the Omaha Zoo. We left on Wednesday morning, and it took a little over two hours to get there. We just did a day trip and it was a full day!
We loved seeing all of the animals.
Sammy loved the aquarium the best.
And Jack loved the penguins. He would track them with his eyes and kick his legs with excitement!
The Omaha Zoo was super family friendly, and totally designed for kids to enjoy. Some of the theming was reminiscient of Animal Kingdom at Disney World, and it made us a little homesick for our next Disney trip. Haha. A highlight from the trip was also a stop at Sonic on the way home. I had a "dirty" Diet Dr. Pepper and my life has been changed. Why was it so delicious?! 😅
I picked up a little "Leprechaun Trap" at Party City, and Sammy was so excited to put it together! He can't wait for green pancakes on Sunday morning.
Sammy and Dustin went fishing this week and Sammy finally caught his first fish of the season. He caught some "blue gails" and was so happy to send me some pictures.
Another favorite from the week was this Hawaiian Chicken. We grilled up chicken, peppers, red onion, and added in some pineapple. Then we topped with a homemade sweet-sour sauce and served it up over rice. It was so good!
New Little Sleepies PJS + an ice cream cone are one of the best things in life. 😉 Our small town ice cream shop is open for the season and I'm embarrassed to share how many times we've been so far!
This avocado-face is always a favorite of mine. Sammy said, "his face and his outfit match!" Haha.
Overall it was a great week at home with my people. Spring Break always makes me SO READY for summer...time to start the countdown. 😉 Happy weekend!

Getting good rest makes such a difference! It looks like you all had an amazing week. Great catch for your little guy! My boys love catching bluegills.
ReplyDeleteHe couldn't have been more excited to finally catch something!
DeleteAhh! It's nice when you can switch the alarm clocks off. It sounds like you had a good week. The zoo trip sounds like a fantastic day out.
ReplyDeleteWe had a great week! I'm not looking forward to setting those alarm clocks tonight. ;)
DeleteOh yes, sleeping in is an amazing feeling (and yeah, 7:30 is about the latest we go in this family too... and I have teens!). We went to the Omaha zoo a few years ago on our way through the state and we loved it. It was such a fabulous zoo and it reminded me a bit of animal kingdom at WDW.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I thought the same! Like I said - it made me a little homesick for Disney! :)
