Hookie

We have all been so busy lately. Aaron has a very hurt back that has required a lot of random doctor appointments, the girls are in school, ballet, along with play dates and birthday parties, we have church, bible studies etc. I was especially tired this week and when the girls got up on Thursday morning I decided we needed a family day. I asked Reese if she wanted to go to school or the zoo?? The girls just about burst with excitement and off to the zoo we went.

We finally rode the train that has been there for a long time. I've been waiting for Aaron to ride it with us. The weather was PERFECT! The sky was big and blue and the air was cool and crisp. The best part is there wasn't ONE field trip, camp or day care there. Actually there weren't many people there at all. Aaron likes to do what he calls "speed zoo" to get everything in and out quickly but on Thursday we just enjoyed the zoo. The animals were very active. We saw a sweet baby monkey and Saige announced to the other people that the baby was drinking the mommy's "booby milk" The Baboons got into a fight, the bears were out climbing rocks and the new chimps were playing happily.

I loved watching the girls see everything. They were especially happy to be there with daddy. You could just tell that this family day meant as much to their little hearts as it did mine.
