Some of my favorite things about summer are that Chloe is home all day long. We took the opportunity to go swimming a lot, picnic a lot and also go to the zoo a lot.
We let the kids ride on the train. It was more exciting in idea than in actual, Greg told me. I decided not to ride and save us some money.
Gavin rode his first merry go round. He thought it was pretty great. Tati thought it was pretty great too until she got too cocky and fell off.
Tati landed on her head. They made me get on the ride and be right next to her and the tears finally subsided. After the ride was done, she was sent over to the "nurse" in the administration building. She was like 18 and asked Tats if she wanted a band aid or an ice pack. Then I had to sign a paper that I was taking her from the "nurse" on my own will and accord. She cried for a bit but after we bought some cotton candy, she was miraculously all fixed. ;-) Gavin didn't know what to think about cotton candy. He was kind of afraid of it and a little grossed out by it too. And yet he kept asking for more because at the same time he thought it was so delicious. It was pretty cute.
We also had a picnic lunch with an elephant casually walking behind us (don't tell Bob Barker).
And the girls were thrilled to go and see the new seal exhibit and pretend like they were underwater.
For as small and ghetto as this zoo is, we sure do enjoy it.
