Spring Break

We had a really busy spring break. It was so fun and I think the girls had a great time. On Monday we went to the Phoenix Zoo with Ashley and Jaxon and I was worried about how Alexis would behave. She was so awesome. She loved every minute of the 4 hours we spent there. Her favorite animals were the elephants and the monkey village. Peyton loved carrying Alexis around to see the animals. The monkey village is so awesome because you get to see the monkeys up close. Alexis loved it.
The girls favorite part of the zoo was the splash pad. It was very hot (in the low 90's) so the water felt great to them. Just look at the huge smile on Lexi's face.


Peyton loved the tunnel slide and tried so hard to get Alexis to come with her but she wouldn't do it.
Hailey had a great time with Jaxon.
On Wednesday of Spring break the girls really wanted to go to BounceU so that is where we went. Peyton invited her best friend Rachel along and she was such fun to have around. Here they are waiting to go in.
Peyton just had to take Lexi down the big slide. She enjoyed it but didn't want to go again.
She liked playing with the balls in the bounce house.


2 hours of bouncing was enough to tire them out but we had a great time.
Thursday was St. Patrick's Day. I made sure the girls wore green and Ryan played along too.
My sister-in-law Tricia invited us all over to her house for a St. Patrick's day party. It was so fun. She had the house all decorated.
Aunt Ashley painted shamrocks on the kids faces.
Taylor made us some yummy pots of gold.
Lots of green was worn by all.
Here are the fun group of cousins.
The first activity we did was a word search.
The next activity was a game of hot potato. The kids loved it.

Alexis thought this game was great and so exciting.
Hailey won the first round.
Then we all danced to the Irish music Aunt Amber brought.
Aunt Tricia gave the kids these great sunglasses that Alexis loved to wear.
Later that day we were able to go swimming with Ashley and Jaxon. Alexis hadn't been swimming in 6 months and she absolutely loved it.



On Friday we went to the zoo again but this time with all of the Ferrell cousins that live around here. We had 11 kids and 4 sister/sister-in-laws. It was fun to be with everyone again. We rode the tram this time to save us from having to walk too much. The kids had a fun time in the splash pad again and had a great time playing with their cousins.
It was so nice to be able to spend time with the girls doing things that they really enjoyed. We are so lucky to be near our families and be able to make so many wonderful memories with them.

How fun! I just love that picture of Alexis being so excited about hot potato. I wish we lived close by!
