SPRING BREAK - General Conference, 4H Fun, Zoo Fun, and Haircuts

Spring Break started the weekend of general conference! And we had soooooooo much fun watching conference and discussing the talks together. We invited the girls' friend, Destiny, to join us on Saturday. They opted to watch conference in their newly purchased pajamas. They had to buy icee drinks to match. It made for a DELICIOUS way to enjoy learning from our church leaders. The girls even took notes using stickers of the general authorities mom made. The stickers made taking notes more fun! :-) On Tuesday we spent the entire day at 4H. First the girls painted large pots and planted tomatoes, onions, peppers, oregano, and basil in them for a "Pizza Garden." The finished pots were stunning. Of course, Kiara and Katia's pots were absolutely the best pots out of the 14 kids who were in attendance. They really have a talent for all things crafty and creative! Then the girls made scarecrows (not pictured). And finally the girls made working lamps out of soda pop cans. They are absolutely cute! Now the girls are working on decorating the lamp shades. :-)
The girls finished their 4H day shooting cross bows. Unfortunately, mom didn't get pictures of the event. (Next week she will.) Katia was a natural at archery. And Kiara is the only blind shooter there. She has to close her eyes to shoot because when she aims she misses. :-)

Wednesday mom took the girls to see the movie "Tangled" in the $3 theater. It was fabulous! We loved it! Definitely an owner. I recommend it to everyone!

Thursday was spent at the zoo with the Melansons. It was super fun although a bit crowded. :-) We saw giraffes, monkeys, elephants, tigers, cheetahs, etc. There is even an albino crocodile named King Louie that was fun to see. The girls enjoyed taking pictures of each animal. They took over 50 pics.... Here are a FEW favorite photos of the two animals mom likes best (her daughters!)




Well, Spring Break is almost over. We celebrated today, Friday, by crafting some more. We made some easter egg decore (we'll take pics of the finished project when it dries). And we all got new hair cuts. The hair cuts are perfect for my kids. What do you think?








Hope ya'll have a fabulous spring! And stay tuned for some more Cruella DeVille video and Kiara's violin concert pics.
