A Trip to the Zoo

 

 

 

Last week(ish)  my friend Karen text me something like this,

"Hey.. The weather looks good,  would you want to go to the zoo with me tomorrow ?"

 

  I've been to the zoo countless times...

many of those times with Karen and a bus load of loud catholic school kids.

  ( remember,  we met when our 27 year olds were in Kindergarten together)

 

Of course I text her back..

"heck yes!"

 

This time,  I was just two moms.

No agenda.

No kids.

 

 

 

We strolled, laughed, enjoyed the animals, and snickered at those parents who were battling with their small children.  ( Been there - Done that!)

Oh yeah..   remember those days of being pulled in a thousand different directions by a tiny hungry person who has to pee every 5 seconds?

We remember.  Which is why this Zoo trip was very relaxing and just a little bit weird.

 

I think the polar bear and the lions were on vacation because we didn't see them.

But we did get to see Willow.

Baltimore's own baby Giraffe.

 

This guy right here...

Relatable!!

 how I feel most days!

 

Literally, This has got to be the cutest, most kissable Ass that I've ever laid eyes on!!!!

 

 

The penguins seemed to be enjoying the beautiful day.

 

I set my pedometer to track our steps.

We took 12,000 -  that's 6 miles worth of laughing.

 and eating...

because many of those steps were back and forth to the food court!

 

 

Of course,  things get a little wild when mom's go to the zoo unsupervised!

 

Such a beautiful day with a beautiful friend.

 

💛

 

Wishing you all a wonderfully wild day!
