It's a Zoo Out There

We had a mommy and Hayley day. We went to the zoo and went out to lunch. Just the two of us. It was wonderful. I wasn't sure how she would like it being stuck in the stroller and trying to see animals that were pretty far away. I was right. We walked around and saw the elephants, monkeys, wolves, and tigers. Everytime we stopped I said "Look Hayley!" Everytime she looked up, she looked at me with this face of "What am I supposed to be looking at?" Then it happened. We walked into the greatest place on Earth. Her eyes lit up. A smile spread across her face. We had walked into the aquarium. I gotta say, it saved the day!! She loved it.

So while we were walking around the aquarium, I decided that I wanted to get pictures. I plopped her on the floor in front of the glass and walked back to take the picture. By the time I put the camera up to take the picture she had turned around and had both hands and her face flat against the glass. After I took the picture I walked up to her and then noticed that not only was her face flat against the glass, so was her tongue. She was licking the shark tank!!

Well, after I cleaned her (and the glass) up, we left and went to Wendy's to eat together. It was awesome to have that alone time with my daughter. I will cherish these memories forever :)
