Impromptu Zoo Trip

Well this morning started out like any Saturday morning when Tim is gone to class. Stone woke up at 7:00 and I fed him breakfast and made some coffee for myself. I was trying to run through the list of everything I wanted to get done today while Tim was gone. I have to do this because if I don't make a time line for myself its too hard to do things with 2 kids by myself for 8 hours! Iwas going to clean up a little around the house, finish the laundry, run out to Target and Hobby Lobby, and sit around here enjoying the beautiful day with my kiddies. Well, then Addy got up. While she was eating breakfast, she looked outside and said, "Mama, it looks like a perfect day for the zoo!" I tried every excuse to get out of going even though I knew it would make her happy. I just knew I would be too tired by the time I got everyone ready out the door and spent time there and my list that I made myself would never get complete!

So I took a very, very quick shower while Stone was in his highchair and Addy was still eating. My plan was to leave the house by 10:00. And guess what? We were all ready and everything was packed! I was shocked! So we were off to the zoo which Addy was THRILLED about!

We had a wonderful time while we were there. There wasn't too many people and it was GORGEOUS! Stone was great which I thought he might get a little tired while we were there. He did take a nap on the way there which probably helped.

After about 2 hours there, Addy was tired and ready to leave. When we got home everyone had some quiet time or went to sleep for about an hour (even Mommy!). I'm really glad that I got to share this beautiful day with my two babies at the zoo even though I didn't get anything done on my list! I guess there is always tomorrow!! :)

Addy and Stone when we got to the zoo. She was so excited for her and her brother!

Cute little boy!

Addy had to bring her camera to take pictures too. Hopefully I can find the cord for her camera and post them on here one day!!
