A day at the zoo

Michael left yesterday on one of his Kentucky trips. The kids always get kind of antsy when he is gone and their schedules are off so we decided to make a fun day today. We got up and did our chores and then loaded up and went to Watertown. We went to Target and Shopko. Then we went through the McDonalds drive-thru and went to the zoo and had a picnic lunch. After lunch, we walked around the zoo for quite a while and looked at all the animals. We got to see the penguins swimming, three baby buffalo, a zebra, camels, alligators and a little baby bird laying on the sidewalk dying. The kids were quite disturbed by the last thing, so we found some workers and told them. Hopefully they did something with it before more kids came. Anyways, it was a fun day. We ended it by going to the dollar store, Walmart and getting an ice cream cone for the ride home. We left at 10 this morning and got home around 4:30 this afternoon. We called Michael and talked to him before he went to bed, went to Hendricks and watered all the flowers downtown and in the park (4-H duties), took bathes and went to bed. We should all sleep good tonight! Tomorrow we have immunizations for Zane and Olivia, playdates for some and t-ball. Plus we have to clean the house since we ignored it today - and we thought the summer would allow us to slow down! At least most of it is a fun busy.
