A Zoo of a Day!

Yesterday was definitely a crazy day. Well, crazy for me anyway. Mostly because 10 min before we left for Greenview Aviaries Park & Zoo Dan realized he was coming down with the flu Carter and I had early in the week. So we went on without him!

Things were not looking good on the way there. With in 5 minutes on the road I knocked Carter's drink all over the floor of the van and had to listen to him say repeatedly "don't do it again mum!" Then he realized his lovey had "crusty's" on it, which later turned out to be poop! Awesome!

The rest of the ride was actually really nice. Lincoln slept the whole way so Carter and I got to chat. He even taught me how you play catch. It went like this:

Carter - "Mum, I want a big football"

Me - "oh yeah, maybe we should put
it on your wish list."

Carter - "do you know how to play catch?"

Me - "yes, I do!"

Carter - "What you do is, you throw the ball to someone and they catch it. Then they throw the ball to you and you catch it."

Me - "sounds like fun."

Carter - "do you want to play catch with me some time?"

Me - "I'd love to!"

Luckily I had help there and Carter had his buddies Connor, Evan, and Keira there to keep him occupied. I think the best thing I heard all day was Connor's realization about Lincoln's gender while I changed Lincoln's diaper.

Connor - "Lincoln's a boy!?!"

Me - "yes, what did you think he was?"

Connor - "a girl!"

Me - "nope, he's a boy!"

Connor - "So when he grows up he's going to have a big penis?!"

Me - "Most likely!"

Gotta love em'!

Here's the one picture I got all day! Being a single parent at the zoo for the day with two kids doesn't leave much time for picture taking. Luckily I have some on order from Jay and Kelly! Unfortunately Keira had gone home by this point but seeing how she preferred the tractors over the animals, she would have fit right in!
