The last half of our spring break, we traveled to SC where one of my sisters and my mom lives. While there we took a [cold] picnic to the zoo. It's a small zoo, but the kids loved it nonetheless. Here K is waving to the baby giraffes.
They eventually came up closer as people were throwing food for them. They would spread their legs out far to bend down to get the food on the ground.
We also enjoyed the antics of Bob the baby orangutan. It was so fun to listen to the kids (especially 3 year old Micah) squeal in laughter at him.
Also on our way back to AL, we stopped off at hubby and my alumni (and where we met), Clemson University. Z has really become quite a big fan of all things Clemson. He found the stadium awesome. We have decided to make an effort this fall to take him to a game....he is way excited!More crafting/sewing to come next week. I got my serger back the other day, but am feeling quite under the weather at the moment. I spent all the week getting the house together so I could have some guilt free sewing and now I'm pretty sick. :(

I would like to try your pound cake recipe. Do you think it would bake well in a glass loaf pan?
Elsie, I've made it in a glass loaf pan, mini loaves, and bundt and it works great in anything. You'll probably need 2 loaf pans for the recipe and reduce your cooking time.
Your DD's skirt is so cute! One of your creations I bet. I like it paired with the leggings. Looks like a great trip!
Amy, thanks! But it's actually a Lands End outfit acquired that weekend on an outing to the mall (Sears carries Lands End now). I fell in love with it a month ago in the catalog:

Kalla loves it as well (one of the few pink-free outfits she really likes). ;)
I think the zoo is a great place to take the kids for both fun and relaxation! Plus it's also educational.
I bet the kids had a ball. Mine love the zoo. . . so much to see and learn.
Yay for Spring Break! I have been DROOLING over your blog. So much crafty goodness here. I'd love to link to some of your tutorials if you didn't mind!
Rachel,
Thanks so much! :) Feel free to link any tutorial and use pics. That's what they are there for! :)
