a day at the zoo

As some of you may know, this is my last week at home.  This has been a great year, but it's time to go make some money.  I will be heading back to the VA next Monday and Presley will be headed back to school full time.  I'm sure it will be hard, but I'm actually looking forward to getting back into a schedule.  So, this week I made a list of things to do...and I've done everything with a day to spare!  Todd called it my "list of frivolous thing to do."  I have gotten a pedicure, gone to see Sex and The City movie, updated my photo album, gone to the mall to take back some of Prelsey's clothes that didn't fit, gotten my oil changed (see, all things weren't frivolous!), and finally...today, we went to the zoo!

My friend, Meg, her 9 1/2 month old son, Jackson, Presley, and I met at the zoo @ 10.  This was not Presley's first visit, because for some reason Todd and I took her when she was 6 weeks old...I'm sure she has fond memories of it.  Anyway, this was the first visit where both of them could at least see moving creatures in front of them.  Of course, Presley called almost everything a dog.  She is big into pointing right now, so that's really all we did.  I'd pick her up out of her stroller, she'd point at it, maybe say "dog", then I'd put her right back in the stroller, and we were on our way.  The best part was the polar bears.  I'd seen them before, but they were just sitting there.  But, this time they were having a big time.  They were wrestling with each other, diving off the rock, and playing with the ball.  It was a lot of fun, I could have watched them for an hour!  However, that was the time that Presley decided she wanted to take her nap...figures.  All and all, we had a great day...we ended up staying until after 2!  And, we got some cute pics of the kids...especially since Meg and Jackson are moving in 1 month :(
