Okay, head lice, disciplinary reports, and principal visits aside, there are moments where Bob and I realize that maybe.....just maybe we might be winning at this whole parenting gig. Its not often, and a day of success is usually followed by a day where no one can pick up their socks without crying, BUT, there is hope, and we are seeing it!
Last week we decided to head to the zoo to finally see the incredible Dino's in the Desert exhibit currently residing there. Both of the girls have been asking to go so we made a morning out of it and had a BLAST!
Here is the winning part.....we went without a stroller, wagon, or jogger. They brought their own money to pay for the sting ray petting. We carried 1 backpack. Both Bob and I got to walk around with a cup of Starbucks in our hands, and we did not have to carry the kids once! WINNING! Oh yea, and they played together and explored without fighting. WAHOOO!!!!
When we weren't checking out the amazing near life size verions of prehistoric creatures we were exploring many of the other areas and catching a rare and up close view of not only 1 but 3 cheetahs. Love our zoo so much.
Our day was ended at the base of the T-REX. He moves....and growls.....and Evie was amazed. Such an incredible time to be a kid!
Here's to the next coffee in hand, less responsibility, kids pay their way trip to the zoo!
