think of a wonderful thought

Rainy Day at the Zoo

After Jamon's latest test we took the kids to the zoo for some Daddy Time! It was beautiful! (This mid-west weather is growing on me!)

David's big cheesy grin and Molly refusing to look at the camera!

This sheep became very attached to Jamon! He followed us and you couldn't help but pet him and scratch behind his ears! It was almost dog-like! We will have to go visit him often! (Molly and David rheaally want a dog, but as of now that is a no go)

And within (seriously) 10 minutes it was POURING! We took shelter under the tram station which, much to the munchkin's delight, let lots of water in! They were soaking wet by the time the storm ended.

And then we took the tram to see the gorillas! And do you know what I discovered? I do not really like monkeys or apes or whatever. And I am definitely an animal lover. We saw gorillas, chimps, orangutans (there was a baby orangutan which was super cute - but they grow up) and I am at least mildly creep-ed out by all of them. I never realized this before. Maybe to many Congo movies or Planet of the Apes Previews. :)

But the kids love them!

Anyone else feeling uneasy? ;)

Molly's "MagicHorn"

While David takes his nap, Molly and I have "school" She is incredibly obsessed with school and is convinced that everyone except her gets to go to school. She will be so excited next year! :)

Anyways, I found a stained glass unicorn craft for us! She calls it her "magic-horn" and it hangs in my kitchen window. It makes her so happy.

I think that's one of the blessings of having kids.
They remind you to find joy in unusual places.
