Spring break highlights

Aubrey helped me make some sugar cookies for Aaron's class. I wish I would have taken some pictures of the bunnies. They turned out really cute. I love my little bakerella. She is totally a hands-on kind of kid. Aaron's classmates were happy to see us. Aaron was especially keen on giving a sugar cookie to his friend, Malina who is in fifth grade. Aaron's class has fourth and fifth graders in it. The fifth graders weren't in class when I was there so Aaron went with his teacher to wait for Malina at the bus pickup. Yeah, he's a got a bit of a crush. It's so cute.

On the hunt...the pink egg up in the palm was the last one to be found. The boys must have walked by half a dozen times.
La Jolla Shores...we had some most enjoyable weather during our week off. Seth, Hollie's son, sent us his Flat Stanley so we took him along for a few pictures at the beach.

Aubrey loves collecting shells. I spotted a small sand dollar and felt like I won a million dollars. I remember my sister Hollie always finding the sand dollars at the beach when we were kids.

SD Wild Animal park. We could never go there enough. Mike took a few days off and joined us for some fun. We enjoyed the Frequent Flyers show. Seeing the condor wing span was a definite highlight.

Here's a little shot of the baby African elephant born on Valentine's day. Even from far off, he's so cute!
