The Zoo

We had a spectacular day at the zoo today. The new penguin exhibit was open and it is so much better than the old one. The kids could sit up right next to the glass as the penguins swam by. They had a fun time watching them swim. Hunter was fascinated by the giraffes. We happened to go by when it was feeding time and I don't ever remember seeing the giraffes that close any of the times that we have been at the zoo. The whole car ride this morning he kept talking about the tigers but on the way home he told me his favorite was the giraffes and that they are "so tall". The girls all got their faces painted but even though there was a Thomas the Tank and Spider Man, Hunter didn't want one. Brayden was busy today and was fascinated by everything that was going on around him. They were both pretty good today and I had a good time and I am glad I got the wagon. The boys could see everything going on around them and nobody was whining about being tired, so I won one battle. We finished the zoo off with ice cream and everyone was wore out so we called it a day. I am glad that Sean and I got to connect on the phone today twice after I kept missing his calls the past few days. He left me a message this morning asking if I had moved while he's been gone, I've just been outside enjoying this weather. When we got home from the zoo today we had dinner, baths and bedtime and I went outside again and pulled weeds until it was too dark. I can't believe how many days it's been since we have had rain. Sean told us that he went into Jackson Hole today to check out the town with one of the other guys and they are just trying to kill time. They tested their test hole today and will know more come Monday as to what they are going to do for 2 weeks while they wait for the anchors to be built and shipped. Well I am off to bed now so I can start another day tomorrow......
