Vacation Mode

my husband had the last few days off and since we couldn't travel far, we decided to do little day trips with the boys.  the benefit to a mini vacation like this - no packing + no time changes + and back in time to sleep in your own bed which = two happy parents and kids... 

chasing butterflies, carrousel rides, out to eat, searching for baby animals,
making sandwiches [thanks grandma r] and spicy vegetables on the grill [thanks grandma b] 
voice echoes, dinosaur spotting and going back in time

our mini adventures included the farm, the zoo,

the science museum, and my favorite lots of down time outside
