Spring Break - continued

Tuesday of Spring Break, the little kids had dental appointments so we didn't go anywhere. However, we did go to breakfast at Ruby's on the pier. Jared's batting coach told his team to go to the batting cages over the break, so we decided to head over to the Sports Complex as a family for batting practice. Jared liked those cages better, which is good news since they are a lot closer.

Wednesday we made the long trek out to the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley.
This is a portrait of Ronald Reagan using his favorite candy - Jelly Bellies.
This is a picture of the Air Force One that was being used during his presidency. I think it was the highlight for the kids that we actually got to walk through it. They also had an "Easter Egg Hunt" with several eggs that had been signed by famous people. The kids were given a paper to fill out telling where they found the egg, the color, etc. It was probably on the most beautiful property I have ever seen. It is definitely worth the drive out there.


Thursday we went to the San Diego Zoo.

We had a great time seeing all the animals, however, we are glad we went when it first opened because many of the animals take afternoon naps......loooooong afternoon naps. We were walking along and Maelen saw some women walking animals on leashes. She got really excited and said that the lady was walking an Artic wolf. Matt told her it was just a dog. As they got closer, the women talked to us and told us the big white one was, in fact, an Artic Wolf. It was a little unsettling knowing that a wolf was on a leash just inches from us. The ladies told us all kinds of interesting information about the wolves. It was something the kids will never forget. Here is a picture of the family from behind. I took it because it was fun to see that Maelen is almost as tall as Matt!!!
