What a blast of a day! In retrospect, going to the zoo at 39 weeks pregnant might not have been a super idea...I thought at one point, "Crud. I do NOT want to have a baby in the Orangutang Abode." That was a LOT of walking! But, we all made it, and Lily had SUCH a good time. She was on cloud 9 all day, and so were we.
It was finally a beautiful day, the monkeys and bears especially kept her glued for hours, and of course, the zoo's two huge playgrounds kept her busy the rest of the day.
Ah, she has become such a big girl! Playing with all the other bigger kids and not intimidated, breezing past mom and dad with a quick wave and orders NOT to touch or help her...standing in line, flying down slides, riding on the carousel by herself. WHEN did all this happen???
What a blessing God gave us today, just to be together as family and to do something purely fun together and a million miles from our normal reality. Matt and I couldn't help but dream together when we were standing in the middle of it all about how FUN it would be to bring the students somehow to the Columbus Zoo. Their wonderment would have matched Lily's, for sure.
