Jackson tourist weekend with the Simms

Every day we found some time to spend in the pool! We also spent a day at the Jackson Zoo. Everyone enjoyed playing in the water sprayer to cool off. Quinn's favorite animal was the baby monkey...she would have loved to have taken one home from the zoo! We went to the Planetarium and the Mississippi Museum of Art too, but didn't take any pictures...we were total Jackson tourists!

Natural Science Museum

We spent Thursday morning at the Natural Science Museum with the Simms, and had a great time. They had a special dinosaur exhibit that just started that was really cool. The dinosaurs were BIG and really life-like. Quinn and Christian were the only ones brave enough to go in! Quinn especially liked the dinosaurs that had the nest with hatching dino babies...they were going, "click, click, click," and she thought that was the coolest thing!

Lilies in bloom

Our Easter lilies finally bloomed, after the BEST of care by Quinn. These were a gift from a very special friend, Brother Tom Hollowell. He gave them to us on the Easter after Quinn was born. He has since passed away, and we think of him every time they bloom. This year Quinn took care of them and made sure they had enough water...they turned out beautifully!
