A Zoo Day

Keira and I went to the Hogle Zoo with my friend, Julie Weir and her daughter, McKinley. It was a surprising day to start out…Keira slept until 9:40 in the morning. That is extremely rare. Once we got everything packed in Julie’s car, including our two big strollers, we headed off to the zoo. The girls were so excited to see the animals. We had a great time walking around, talking and watching the girls’ reactions. It was after 1:30 in the afternoon when we left and headed over to Donna Mills’ house to have some lunch. She is a Pampered Chef consultant. She had a party that night and wanted us to be her guinea pigs for a new recipe. I surely didn’t mind. Julie and I felt bad because we were running behind on time and we would be eating and running. Donna was willing to cook us lunch anyway. She prepared a Philly Cheese Steak Burrito…it was really good. It wasn’t until almost 3 pm when Keira and I got home. It took Keira a little while to calm down to take her nap, so it wasn’t until 4:30 when she finally laid down. When Eric got home from work, Keira came stumbling out of her bedroom. We could easily tell that she was still half asleep. Keira climbed into Eric’s lap and fell asleep. After about 10 minutes, she moved and sprawl across the arm of the sofa. We decided to leave her there for a little while and then we moved her back into her own bed. It was a fun filled day for the little one and we are planning on going to the zoo again sometime next week.
