We took a trip to the zoo today. Sophie and Hannah had been fighting a little cold but they woke up this morning without any coughing or runny noses. I thought some fresh air would do them good.
"Elephants!"
(pause)
"Carousel Mommy?"
They LOVED this little lizard statue. All the animals were out today. The cheetah paced back and forth in front of us, the kangaroos hopped around their pen, the hippo put on a show with his yawning...barely a glance from Sophie and Hannah. But the lizard statue, they played with that for a good 20 minutes. Then asked for the carousel.
African drum break.
Cotton Candy! We read about cotton candy in Maisy Goes To The Fair. I thought it would be fun to let them try it. And Mommy wanted some cotton candy. They were so excited!
Sophie took one taste and declared "I don't LIKE it." But she did enjoy squishing it in her fingers. And kept asking for more for that very purpose. Hannah loved it of course!
"I push Mommy!"
Carousel. Why did you make us wait so long!? (Mommy got lost in the Primate Panorama. Seriously. I couldn't find my way out.)
A nap was in order when we got home. I was really tired and not feeling well. Sophie went right to bed. Hannah wouldn't sleep. She told me in this sad, little voice "It's hard to go to sleep." I told her she could sleep in my bed with me. She started to drift off and so I went right to sleep. I woke up a short time later to the sound of hangers being thrown about. I looked up and Hannah had pulled ALL my shirts off the hangers in my closet. If I didn't know any better, I would swear that she pretended to fall asleep so I would fall asleep so she could get up and rummage through my closet. And I definitely have a cold:(

I like their picture pushing the wagon.
They are getting so grown up! I remember the first time you took them on the carousel and what a very special adventure that was. And now they've been several times.
I just love their hats..!
