The Zoo






The last time we took Sabrina to the zoo, she was probably not too much older than Lucy, didn't know any animals, and couldn't really see anything. This time was so much better! I got thinking one morning that I am really not going to want to go to the zoo in July when the weather is miserable, and since we are enjoying some pretty great weather right now, we needed to go. So on a whim, I packed a bag, hit the metro, and took off. Sabrina's favorites: the giant pandas, the elephants, the lions, and the sloth bear. She responded just how every parent dreams their child will at the zoo. "Wow!" "Look at him go mom!" "He's eating, he's eating; that's a good lunch!" "He's just taking a little rest, mom." "He's running so fast!" "I love those bears!" It was like she knew what I wanted her to say. She also digs the metro. Although I'm not so sure fellow metro riders dig me and my double stroller. Good times.

How fun. We haven't been to the zoo in ages, but I'm going to have to wait for a day in the 70s because I can't stand it any hotter than that. Lucy is starting to look more chubby. I feel like she's already a different child.

On another note, did you watch the Bachelor last night? I laughed so hard I almost peed my pants!

Looks like fun, we love the zoo! Dain ran into Paul in between meetings at church last Sunday. He said that you guys are in the other ward. We would still love to get together for a playdate! Where are you guys living?

Double strollers are the best and the worst. So much hassle until you get to your destination then they are awesome. We will have to make a trip to hogle zoo when you get back.

Yeah, I'm with you about the stroller on the metro thing. I only had a single and man I felt bad for people having to maneuver around me.

I dig the metro, too! I wish I was at the zoo right now. Work is SO slow today.
