Our Two at the Zoo

In the spirit of Easter break (& in celebration of our GORGEOUS weather), we took our little monkeys to the zoo. If I've learned anything with Flynn, it's to NOT give her too advance of a notice. In other words, only a one-day's notice. So, yesterday, when I told her where we were planning a trip to, she squealed, "OH!, the zoo! We'll see zebras & hippos."
Oh wow, this kid's a genius.
"And dogs. And doves."
Well, I'm her mom... I still think she's a genius.
We planned to leave at the crack of dawn, but I was not moving so fast at 7 this morning, so we left like an hr after our ETD. So when we got to our beloved zoo, the "free time" for the childrens' zoo was almost over. We had 10 mins to get from our car which was parked wwwwwwwwwway far away into the zoo & to the C.Z.
So I hauled my large rear & worked my 3-ft legs. Jeff said, "wow honey, you are going really F A S T." I reminded him that I'm always inspired when it comes to something free.
A funny thing happened at River's Edge (where the hippos are)...there is an area that is cave-like. Hords of people were crowding at the glass to see the hippos and I believe some kind of otter. I was disgusted becuz some older man sat there RIGHT AMIDST the tons of kids (in this closed in area) & lit up his cig. This ticked both of us off...particularly becuz I was upwind from him w/ Gabe wheeled up to the glass (while he admired the fish). Jeff really got mad when he caught wiff. We were standing together, but I decided to take Gabe & go up further away from the smokestack. But Jeff didn't realize I had left. He turned his voice to the lady next to him (thinking it was me) & said, "How would he like it if I went over & pooped in his lap?!" He looked up just in time to see her look at him & hurridly rush her children away.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while.
