We had an adventure this past Friday. Mark spent the day golfing with some friends, so I decided to take all of the kids to the zoo. As soon as we turned off at the exit for the zoo, I realized that this was probably the busiest day of the entire summer for the zoo and Forest Park and how wrong I was at thinking that no one would be there! We parked all the way down by the history museum because all of the streets and lots were full by the zoo. We ended up going to the history museum- which only lasted about 45 minutes because the little ones were very bored. We then decided to walk to the zoo from there. It was the most beautiful day of the summer I think- only about 79 degrees with big puffy "Toy Story" like clouds in the sky. The fountains in the park were so pretty and made for a great photo-op!! Hannah did some impromptu praising while there at the fountains! So precious! Then we made it to the zoo and saw the much awaited new sea lion habitat. Everyone had a different part of the day that was their favorite- Nathan's of course was riding the train! I think mine was the walk and just taking in the beautiful day that the Lord had blessed us with, and seeing the kids take joy in the amazing day that He had created!!
By about 2:30 we were all getting tired, so we headed out on our walk back to the history museum. I don't usually go out on these types of trips without Mark to help me with all of the kids, but Olivia and Caroline were such a big help in keeping track of everyone at the zoo!! I feel pretty good about navigating through Forest Park now too! It turned out to be a great and perfect day!
