Zoo

We spent this sunny day wandering around the zoo where Ty was continuously excited by all he saw. The lion roared, a giraffe strutted through showing everyone just how important he was, an angry goose took on a vending machine (hilarious), the gorilla wanted to make friends and the white alligator slept. The kids walked the entire three hours and left worn out.

 

 

At this point Greg and I discussed how Kate wanted to name him "Bear". She may have had a better handle on what we would be dealing with than we realized. 

 

 

 

Signs of spring were popping up in random locations throughout the zoo. It was good for my soul to see evidence of it's impending arrival. And on the way home, a call from Lauren. She was walking on a beach with Makenna and they wanted their little sibs to know they collected some sea shells for them. It takes about two hours to get to the beach from Grandma's house but it was worth it. Tomorrow...they fly home, refreshed and God willing, ready to conquer these last two months of school.

And the icing on today's cake....I don't have to serve jury duty next week after all. Amen.
