A List

Days 1 & 2

Day 1 - Miles has swimming lessons this week so he and I walked over to the pool in the sweltering heat, no complaints from him though so that was good.

Look at how much air he gets!!

However on the walk home he did mention to me in passing that he won't be walking to swimming lessons anymore, he'll just go in a car instead......  :)

I went to bed last night and didn't think a thing about Stanley the dog, or of course the two cats we're looking after.  I did however wake up abruptly at 5:00am realizing that poor Stanley hadn't been let outside for about 20 hours!

If anyone had seen me driving over to let him out at that time in the morning with my crazy hair and nightie on - they would've thought I was nuts!  

I looked all over their house and didn't find one wet spot or anything else - unreal Stanley!!!!!!!  I won't do that again, I promise.

Day 2

After a good sleep last night the boys got up this morning at 7 and 8am respectively, Miles being the first up.  We were in the car and at the zoo before noon which was not too bad timing as we were able to fit in a few of the talks by the Zoo staff.  I liked the animals we saw but I was more interested in watching the boys enjoying it.

We did see live animals too but these guys were fun to climb on.

 

The train conductor advised us all that we would be going over a bridge with a drop on either side so we should hang onto our loved ones - Miles immediately put his arm around Bennett.  So sweet!

Once we'd watched the Raptor show, heard the lion, baboon, giraffe and lemur talks we wandered the grounds on our own.  We saw the creepy displays of snakes, geckos, and other lizardy things, then after the train ride we were ready to go.  It was a great day!
