On a happier note...

Today I took the day off of work, it felt good to sleep in and refresh. We decided we didn't want to be cooped up in the house all day, so we took a trip to the zoo. It was Addie's first time so that was exciting! My nephew, Kristopher, also came along. He seemed to be the zoo expert even though he claimed to have not been there "in forever".

Our first animal was the flamingo.... Addie loved them, she didn't want to leave.






The next thing she liked was the penguins, you can't tell from her face, but she LOVED them!


If you look close you can see one swimming by...


She also liked the fish


I don't remember what these crazy animals are... does smelly and ugly help?








For some reason Addie liked them...




She also got to pet some baby goats! She was a little hesitant at first....







We think she liked this black and white one because it reminded her of Elsie.




I think someone wants a kitty....
Not many smiles today, I think she was overwhelmed with all the people and things going on! And it was a little during nap time. And it was HOT out!!!

*************************

On another note, I am doing better today, still not great, but better. I am looking forward to Monday when I can talk to the doctor about my options, I know it is the easy way out, but I really just want it to be over. Until then I will wait to see if anything happens.

Thank you for the prayers, they have helped a great deal, and we continue to pray for guidence and strength.

The mystery animal is a guanaco. I like their eyelashes. It looks like a good family outing. The photos of Addie and the goats are sweet.
Thinking of you.

Glad you were able to spend some family time together.

Glad Addie enjoyed the goats. I think Allison would love it, however mom has been brave enough to actually go in the pen with her yet. Although these animals appear mellow. I can't stand when they are jumping all over you.

Sometimes I stop to let Morgan see the fish in the tank at Meijer. She loves them! Looks like a fun day...

Great pics! Avery LOVES the aquarium at the zoo. Like Rachel, I let Avery watch the fish at Meijer. She gets a kick out of it! Glad you guys had a good time at the zoo!
