"This is the best day EVER"

(by Paige & Shae, age 5)

...because we get to go to the zoo

...with Mommy all to ourselves (no baby to hold)

...riding the carousel (because there aren't 5 kids to buy rides for, only 2!)

...playing at the new children's zoo (climbing walls, riding zip lines etc.)

...seeing the pretty pink flamingos

...pretending to be lions, chimps, & polar bears

...getting unlimited "underducks" from Mom

...eating a cold lunch with juice boxes

...holding hands with Mom

...singing silly songs on the ride home

...being good & tired by nightfall (last one by Mom)
