Thank You, Mr. Columbus

On Monday, Columbus Day, we had the sweet treat of going to the zoo with the Mullins. Both sets of our parents were out of town that day, so I had already planned to take off of work, and then we realized it was a bank holiday for John. Happy long weekend to us!

When we told Helen Grace the night before that we were going to the zoo with Thomas, she was more excited about playing with Thomas than actually going to the zoo, which is saying A LOT!

The big gorilla daddy was banging on the window, and HG was not a fan of that.IMG_2341 IMG_2351 IMG_2389 IMG_2405CIMG9514 She walked with her hand on his back for quite a ways.IMG_2435 And then I asked her if she would hold his hand. Wow, then it was ON! All they did was hold hands and run around for the longest time!IMG_2463IMG_2472CIMG9518 Waiting for the sea lion showIMG_2511 IMG_2516 IMG_2532 CIMG9521IMG_2550 IMG_2575 IMG_2581 IMG_2594 CIMG9525 CIMG9526 CIMG9530 IMG_2606 IMG_2616Ummm, this picture makes this OCD mom very anxious! But you’ll be pleased…I let her eat as much as she wanted (which wasn’t very much after all) and didn’t break into a sweat.CIMG9538 “But Mommy, I do not want to go home!”IMG_2655 Soooo sad to be leavingIMG_2656
