On President's Day I took the kids to the Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. It was a pretty great zoo. Every time we go to the zoo I like to do a little Family History... this time we worked on Jeff's side of the family which meant we had to spend more time observing these types of animals.
This group of ladies cracked us all up. They looked so bored. The one with her mouth open looked like I feel a lot of the time. She kept dozing off. When her eyes would roll back her mouth would open like they were moving together. It was crazy to watch. We bonded even more when I realized that we are almost exactly the same age. I might be in denial of how I really look but her face was so wrinkled and she looked SO tired. I walked away from her feeling like we were kindred spirits.
This baby was the cutest... only a few months old. There was a high school girl who had the assignment to observe these 2 for 2 hours. She was almost finished when we arrived and said that the mom had snuggled with her baby the whole 2 hours. She hadn't slept at all but appeared to be soaking in this close time she was sharing with her baby. I was so jealous of that mother. I have never been able to snuggle with my children for 2 hours. That's motherhood at it's finest.
Ady's wondering if there's any resemblance... what do you say? The zoo is an amazing place to visit if you want to remember how much Heavenly Father loves us. He has created amazingly beautiful animals for us to enjoy and to help keep the cycle of life moving along. We had a great day!

Which one is Ady? If it's the one I'm thinking...Ady you wore some pretty BLAH colors on that day. And it looks like you are a little down in the mouth. It also appears that anyone could go right up & pick your nose without any trouble getting in!
