Jonathan was lucky to be able to invite Uncle Josh to join him at the Masters Tournament in Augusta. If you knew my brother, you'd know that this made his year, if not life. They left after a horrowing wait on Thursday afternoon, then headed down in the midst of a nasty storm. On Friday of the tournament, they had "the BEST time!", then drove back late Friday night.
While the two of them were out having fun, the rest of us headed to the NC Zoo for some exercise!!!
Miss Emma, always the "peace" child, if not doing bunny ears, in photos.
We thought it wouldn't be too packed since at least Guilford County schools already finished spring break. WRONG! It was so crowded for the first half, but then finally got a little better. The weather was perfect! Jean and T-shirt weather.
The three girls all wanted to ride the carousel (Lucas wasn't up for it), so I took them while Grandma stood in the pizza line for about 30 minutes. Ellison was lit up - so excited!
Olivia spotted a dolphin, and had to have it. She's into dolphins right now. As for me? I focused on trying to not get motion sick, and somewhat succeeded.
Lunchtime!
After getting just far enough away from the bathrooms (and after just using the bathroom), Ellison suddenly had to go again. Of course it wasn't in the part of the park where the bathrooms were super close. So off I ran, as if doing the 400-yard dash. We made it, then headed back to join the others. My continuous huffing and puffing must've sounded pretty rhythmic to Little Bug - she zonked out within a minute of leaving the bathrooms. I just love the look of a sleeping kid! So sweet...
Elli tried rearranging herself to get more comfortable. Makes me hurt.
And finally the kid zone at the end of a long day!

The following day was the last day the gang was here. I worked the entire day, so I couldn't exactly tell you what the day entailed. The fun came to a close that evening, as everyone headed back on the road.
