I am safely tucked up at home with a successful day at the zoo behind me. Behind us, I should say, it was a team effort. Plenty of patience, telling Jacob of what we are doing and warning of things that might differ from the plan, a great picnic lunch and off we go.
Highlights of the trip.
*For Abby – standing at the window and seeing the sea-lions zoom past over and over.
*For Jacob – the discovery of coy carp and dreaming of how easy it would be to catch those suckers.
*For Braden – the purchase of an otter soft toy on the way out
*For Paul – the fact that the Warriors were at the zoo to feed the tigers. (And perhaps that they bought their cheerleaders, but with the fact that those poor girls are half his age (not exaggerating) that is bordering on sicko.). Anyhow. He was impressed.
For me – getting a pic or two of the boys together. All 3 kids? um. no. Not acheivable. That’s ok.. well I got one or two, but the light was bad etc, but they were HAPPY so I’ll keep ’em! The pics too. lol.
Oh wait – one more funny thing – the tortoise feeding time. 35 yr old man tortoise and 38 year old lady tortoise eating celery and carrots – WOW they guts those things down, anyway, the food musta given Mr tortoise a little energy because he rambled over to Mrs tortoise took a while, they dont move fast and decided it was time to
And just quietly, the real highlight of the day was that the courier dropped off the new Tarisota box this morning at 7.45am and that I love this collection – I know I go on about Tarisota but it is the one commitment I am truly looooving right now.
I’ll leave you with some pics – humanity and peace has been restored in the Howard home. For now. It seems when there is attitude lurking that the mojo runs for cover. Hopefully tomorrow I might scrap something now.
All 3 kiddos – bad light – poor Abby squashed in there, she really is bigger IRL, Braden is just using her for a leaning post.
This pic says it all about my family. Braden is the quirky funny guy, Jacob being the responsible driver of the stroller, while Abby demands where she wants to go. The hot guy dis-owning us up the front is my hubby :o)
yea. A pic of the boys. Haven’t got one for ages.
“All second grade and injured Warriors to the Zoo please”.. ok so that was a low blow .. ok but there were 4 of them, 3 of them were 2nd grade and one was injured. lol. hey. but the cheerleaders were all first grade so paul says.
