Wild Times




I asked Joey if he wanted to take the kids to the Wild animal park this past weekend... With a totally straight face he said, "Yeah, let's go, I haven't had heat stroke in awhile... sounds fun." I started to chuckle and he just kept going... "hopefully I can sweat enough to loose some weight." ... "I have an idea, let's bring the back packs and carry the kids all over the park, then maybe we can sweat some more."... "I just love sweating don't you?"... The more he talked, the harder I laughed... (If you know Joey well, can't you picture the whole thing? :) He makes things so fun and funny...
All this to say, we packed up all the kids in our little Scion XB and headed out to the Wild Animal Park in the heat... And we actually had a really good time... The older kids walked the whole time and hardly even complained... We all danced under the misters scattered throughout the park at any chance we got... We had a picnic at the playground and I ate way to many carmel corn nuggets (from Henry's Marketplace... if you have never had them, beware, they are TOTALLY addicting :) Needless to say, I had a little tummy ache after lunch... :)
We ended the day on the carousel... Halee got a little nervous once it started moving so Papa hopped on the zebra with her and she enjoyed the rest of the ride in Papa's arms with her head on his shoulder... Papa's make lots of unbearable things bearable, huh?
