We ventured back to the zoo last week as the girls were very disappointed last time we went that the Giraffes were not out of their winter hibernation. I was crossing my fingers that they would not be disappointed again. We walked into the zoo went past the monkey's or as Emma likes the real names of the animals now "Japanese Macaws" we spotted the spots.........Giraffes!!!! They couldn't have been happier until we got to the Giraffe area and then we saw it the Zebra cage was still empty. So what was to be a great day turned into mediocre because of the lack of Zebras at the Zoo.

What we have been up to.....
It has been a while since I posted so here is an update. Since it has been so nice out and such a long winter the girls and I have been outside as much as possible. We take walks during the day and usually hit one or both of the parks by our house. After one of the longest winters I can remember we are appreciating the warm weather and will not be taking any nice day for granted this spring and summer.
Ben and I booked our first 2011 trip which will be a cruise on Carnival out of Miami to Grand Turk, Nassau, and a private island. The girls will be staying in Naples with Grandma and Grandpa Bruins while we are on the cruise and they are so excited that Emma has packed the essentials (stuffed animals) already. They also play pretend that they are going to FL, Emma pretends to drive the car and they pack their suitcases and play the radio for some music on the long "drive" to FL. We will be going on the cruise with Paul and Lindsey Keller and maybe Jason and Stacy Blomgren.
Ben has been working, working, working.......hopefully all this work and time away from us will pay off. He seems happy to be in his new Vice President role (even if it is the same duties he really likes the title!)
Next week I have plans to start getting the camper ready for the fast approaching camping season. The girls are also very excited about camping season and talk about it all the time. We are just hoping that Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Mike find a boat to add to the fun of camping.
Hopefully I can keep up the the blog these upcoming months..we have weddings, showers, dance recitals, first communions, etc..... busy months ahead and we love every minute of it!!
