The Zoo

What a great day for our family, the boys allowed Daddy to sleep for 3 hours this morning before becoming to loud and crazy. Kodi asked us if we could go to the zoo today, I thought why not we have a membership and the Zoo is just the right size for us, it takes about 2 hours for us to walk around and see all the different animals. We let the boys take charge and decided which way and what animals to see first,both loved it.
When we first drove into the parking lot we saw a flood of cars I thought"man this is going to be crazy time" but really it wasn't. We found that the only places in the zoo that were very busy was the reptile house which was busy, but Kodi did great. Kodi walked to which ones he wanted to look at and just did what he needed to do. We have found that when we are out if Kodi needs to have a safe place it's on Aaron's shoulders, which is becoming a good thing, except the fact that Kodi is 5 and getting heavier for Aaron.
We also were able to brush this morning and no melt downs or issues when it was time for brushing. After the zoo it was time for us to go grocery shopping now, which I hate taking all three boys but we had no food in our house since we just got back from MN.
Of course we talked to the boys about not getting any toys in walmart and that we were just grocery shopping. "I know, I know" we heard from Kodi's mouth. Of course walmart is always crazy and I go crazy in walmart. But we made it with no melt downs and Kodi in fact was a huge help to me.
I love it when life is good and both boys have a great day. More good days are ahead of us, Aaron is now back on days so no more being quite during the day and we get to see him more.
