Zoo and Crabs

Yesterday we spent a lovely day at the zoo (sorry Cherylyn!). We left after Mom, Bret, Beth, Layla and Keira got out of church. Yes, I was too lazy to go to church this week, so it serves me right that the girls got to meet their new cousin Ava and I didn't! We stopped at McDonald's and ate on the road. We got to the zoo around 2:00. Keira was quite fascinated with the giraffes this time. She also really liked the dolphin show. We also got to see the 2 bear cubs, they we're playing and fighting in the water and then running all around the enclosure. Layla really liked them, she also liked the wild dogs although they were sleeping. The butterfly exhibit opened this weekend so we went there for a bit, 1 landed on my leg and stayed for several minutes. After that we went and watched the dolphin show and then it was time to leave. We decided to go have dinner at Joe's Crab Shack. We told them it was Mom's birthday so they gave her a little cowboy hat and a stick pony to ride around the resturant. She really hammed it up. Beth was really, really red and I was red also! I have no idea how her spontaneous skipped Beth and I but it sure did! All in all it was a very good day.

Sounds like Sunday was fun! Joe's is one of my favorite resturants--I'm very envious to hear someone went there and I didn't! :) Although I've seen the cowboy deal with other patrons--I've been there on my birthday before, but I just keep my mouth shut ...

You are real sorry, I know. I am glad the girls had a good time. We thought about putting Wyatt on the saddle at Texas Roadhouse on his birthday but weren't sure how he would like it.
