Spring Break! (3rd time's the charm, I hope)

Dear Family and Friends,

This week we had Spring Break and we spent the first half of it sharing a stomach bug, but then we got better. Mark took off Thursday and Friday so we could have fun as a family, and we were so blessed that Thursday and Friday were the most beautiful days we've seen in forever. It was sunny and a little over 70 degrees. On Thursday we did some cleaning and playing around the house. Then we went to Macaroni Grill for dinner and then we went to a park together. Then on Friday after some yard work and Joy's nap, we went to the zoo. Everyone else in Boise had the same idea, so it took a half hour to find a parking spot. Then we only had about an hour left to explore the zoo, but it wasn't as crowded as I thought it would be and we had just enough time to see all the best animals and take a ride on the carousel. In the last picture, it's hard to see, but BethAnne is sticking her head up in a plastic dome in the prairie dog enclosure and they're looking at each other. Then to finish off the day we went to Primos Pizza Buffet (we had a coupon) and that was lots of fun. We are really glad we could have these fun days as a family and now we're looking forward to a nice, quiet General Conference weekend. I hope you are all doing well. We love you!

Love,
Aubrey
