Yesterday I was in the midst of the usual morning drudge (dishes, bed making, getting dressed) when Lizzy asked her daily morning question: "What are we going to do today, Mama?" What almost escaped my lips was "go to Target," but somehow that awful statement (seriously, is there any bigger horror than dragging two kids along on errands?) never passed my lips. Instead I asked, "What do you want to do?" Well, Lizzy's thirst for adventure is legendary, so she was quick to say, "How about the big zoo?" I thought to myself, "Why not? We have no real place to be today, and errands can always wait until another day, right?" Oh, the luxury of time! It is a blessing beyond measure to be able to have time to enjoy the day, enjoy one another, and have fun together. We packed a quick lunch and were on our way. Since our friends Nicole, Abby, and baby Ella live so close to the zoo, we told them to meet up with us. They were only able to stay a little while, but it's always fun to play with Abby. Lizzy and Peter are both at such a fun age now. They love being out-and-about, and have such fun exploring the world around them. Lizzy loves to climb now, and is eager to climb pretty much anything she can. And Peter is right there too, trying his best to keep up with his sister.
