We just had a fun week with my family for spring break.  We had gorgeous weather and fabulous company.  Or maybe it was  fabulous weather and gorgeous company.  My sisters were awakened by wild animals one morning.  Ok, so a pig is not a wild animal-at least not the cute pink ones.  But the fox is definitely wild.

Libby stuck around for a little girl talk.

Pigs in a Blanket  (note: there is only ONE pig in this blanket even though Alli is trying her best to look like one.)

And what pig encounter would be complete without a Piggy-back ride?!

Last year Allison spent her spring break with us in New Jersey.  We could only take her to Washington DC and NYC.  This year to complete her bucket list, we took her to……

The Boise Zoo!!!

The kids had fun, even if it was a step down for Al.

This was totally his idea.  He walked right up to this tiger and stuck his head in.  I was laughing so hard I almost forgot to take the picture.

Reagan took good care of the little ones.

The petting zoo was a hit.

Reagan got nose to nose with the tortoise.

I figured Liberty was too old for a stroller now but I was wrong, so Grandpa took pity on her.

We saw several of these mama geese sitting on their nests around the zoo.  They would not budge no matter what we did or how close we got. 

This should have been taken on President’s day, but I was too lazy to come to the zoo just to take this picture.   I wouldn’t have gotten to be in it if I had.  Thanks, Al!

Aunt Janie hooked us up with an amazing pool party while everyone was here. 

Libby was terrified of the water, but she loved holding this puppy.  Thanks again, Aunt Janie!!  We had a great time!

I saved this rare gem of Derek for last. He loves spending time with his family so much he can’t stand it.

We love you too, Der Bear.
