No trip to Jacksonville is complete for Ethan, until we have seen the zoo. Of course with so many things to do while in Florida, the zoo kept getting pushed back another day and then another day. Since we were leaving town on Wednesday, Tuesday was our last chance. As it always goes- Tuesday was the rainiest day of them all. We met up with Laura and she said, "We are going to have fun whether we go to the zoo or not." All Ethan heard in that sentence was that we aren't going to make it to the zoo. Tears started welling up in his eyes and Laura immediately followed up with, "We are going to the zoo and we are going to have fun no matter what!" Laura took the kids and I and we had a great day (rain free) at the zoo. On the bottom of Ella's shoes? Yes, that is what you think it is. Ethan and Ella even insisted on running around the splash park for a bit- they got cold quickly and we moved on to the rest of the activities at the zoo.
Looks like you guys are having such a fun time in Florida! Hope that your return flight tomorrow is less eventful than today. And hey, it may be too cool for swimming down there, but it's way too cold to even think about a swim suit here!
I love to celebrate the little things along with the big things in life. I love being able to stay at home (without any crazy "work from home" job). My kids are my whole world. I look at them and realize how blessed I am to be their mom. Our youngest child, was born with a terminal disease called Menkes disease. We are trying to not take one memory for granted as we learn the joy of Eternal Families. My husband works at a dental practice just a few blocks from home. We live in a small town and really have found our place here. We miss being close to family but have been lucky to have wonderful friends here that feel like family.
