Yippee! School is out already! That was just the first day.
The district went easy on us with only a half day. We had time to kill so why not have fun?
A friend of mine and I decided to pack up the kids and head
on down to the Dallas Zoo. Living way up north in Frisco we don’t venture down to
the zoo very often. What child doesn’t
like looking at the animals?
Luckily for us the weather was really nice that day, not a
scorching August day like we often get. But the best part? It was virtually
empty! I don’t know what all the other parents who had half days were doing,
but we went to the zoo and were glad they didn’t! No offense to everyone else,
it was pretty neat having the zoo pretty much to ourselves. One disadvantage – the TRAM wasn’t running. Oh
well, not a big deal. The kids got over it.
We had a great time watching the flamingos and their funny
poses. Of course the kids had to mimic them bending one leg out to the side.
Then off to see the penguins. They are just so cute swimming around in their
tuxedos! The kids pressed their faces against the glass because that’s how you
get the best view you know.
I won’t bore you with the rest of the details, but it was an
awesome day! We finished it off with a carousel ride on the way out.
Next day…mom’s first full day alone. Did I cry then? Find
out next time!
