Zoo Day

 

 

Last week Brett flew in from the West Coast on the red-eye and happened to call me on our way to the zoo. He decided to surprise the girls at the zoo instead of going straight to the office that day, so we got to have a family zoo day right in the middle of the week! And what a blessing it was because by lunch time when we were ready to head home the kids were hot. And tired. And cranky. Neither Ellen and Sophie spent much time riding in the wagon (past the entrance) so Corinne had it all to herself all morning. Even though I had prepped her for our day at the zoo by telling her that the wagon was for her sisters since they are smaller, get tired more easily, etc. Ha! Silly me. And unfortunately we ended the zoo trip with the carousel...which meant we had a HUGE hill to walk up to go home. I wish I had a picture of our trek leaving the zoo. Brett was carrying Ellen and pulling C in the wagon while I carried Sophie. Not a pretty sight. It all turned out fine, and much to my surprise E and S stayed awake the whole way home (major accomplishment). Needless to say everyone slept all.after.noon. Daddy saved the day! And we were happy to spend the morning with him after he had been gone a few days. (Ellen wearing purple, Soph in yellow)
