Blank Park Zoo

Today, with Shane being out of town, I took the girls to the zoo.  It was a pretty uneventful day but something I've wanted to do since the elephants are only in town until early July.  I think the kids will agree that the new playground was the best part.  It is really BIG and really NICE!  Not a ton for a 16 month to do but since she thinks she's 4, she wasn't bored.  I just had to be in my "chase mode" so that she wouldn't try to get down places that she's really not old enough to go.  They even had an elephant show and Aftyn tried to be the center of attention but we had the "leash" on her so she couldn't go far.  We got plenty of looks with that but if THEY want to chase her, I'll be glad to take it off of her!!  I also got plenty of "where did you get that?  I need that for my ..."  So it goes both ways.  I've never needed one with the other girls but this one, we'll just say is a bit DIFFERENT!!  Wouldn't trade her for all the tea in China though.  The girls also enjoyed feeding the fish.  I was a nervous wreck, trying to take pictures and make sure Aftyn didn't go for a swim--Uugghh!!  It all worked out though.  Anyway, it was a good time with no major meltdowns.  Enough for now...-AS
