Green Day

We've had spectacular weather so far for our Spring Break at home!  We've been able to sleep in {even to 10am today...ahem...} and get out and enjoy the sunshine and {almost} green grass! 

Today we ate at...where else...

Chili's!

After lunch we headed to Petco to see the cute kittens, ferrets, rats {ewww!} guinea pigs and birds and stock up on more cat food and cat litter!  Everytime we visit, there are always different cats to see...I hope that means that all the kittens are finding nice new homes!  Today Alex and Emily really wanted to take Mike home...too bad we couldn't, but I think we're good on pets right now!

Next...ice-cream at Zaharakos...

...a fun old-fashioned ice-cream parlor that's been restored where they dress up like the early 1900's when it first opened! 

Alex and Emily got orange dreamsicle ice-cream and I had a hot-fudge sundae with chocolate chips, sprinkles and whipped cream!  {burp!}

I decided we needed to walk off those delicious calories by becoming tourists in our own city...supposedly known for its architecture and sculptures...even though I don't have a clue...we had lots of fun checking it out first-hand instead of just driving by on our way to Target like we usually do!

Alex & Emily had tons of fun running in and out and around all the columns of the Veterans Memorial!

And I had tons of fun finally figuring out how to use the timer on my camera!

Emily wanted to take a picture with the 'kids'...they are always dressed up for the weather and holidays!

It was such a fun day around our small city enjoying St. Patrick's Day and the warm, sunny weather!  We also had a super fun day yesterday with Annie and Andrew!  I will post about that too...but I didn't want to overwhelm you with so many pictures...as if I haven't already!  Hope you're all enjoying this Green Day too!
