a day at the zoo

We go all the time. We are members and I love it there. It is not a terrifically big place. And there is a hill that goes to the monkeys and the playground (ellie's 2 favorite parts) that could give anyone a heart attack! I am going to have a butt of steel after a summer of pushing 30 pounds up that damn hill.

Today was so nice. It was just ellie and me. I love being a mom who is able to stay home. I can't always say that in January when I am desperately trying to fill our days with fun, educational activities. Today I almost felt guilty Chris had to work (on a sprained ankle no less!) and I was spending the day at the zoo...

Here are some pics from our trip today...
