A day to have "fun"

That's how I enticed Addie into getting ready for the day. We were going to have "fun" today. BAM! She was eager to get her bath, dressed, etc.
Brian resurrected the Safari Wagon box from the basement that Santa brought the kids. If you recall, Brian was really sick on Christmas Eve and after putting together the Playhouse, I couldn't bring myself to assemble the wagon in the wee hours of the morning. Instead the kids saw the box on Christmas morning and I assume forgot about it.
We put it together, which really was easy. Addie and Ben were huge helps with it too. LOL
We ate lunch at home and then went on our quest for "fun." The temperature was about 60 degrees, with an occassional breeze. The sun was out. Spring flowers are in bloom. Overall, a beautiful spring day.
Leaving the house to have "fun"

About 80% to our fun destination, Addie realized where we were headed!
Once there, we were greeted by a Zoo member who showed the kids a turtle shell.

Addie wasn't scared to touch it at all. Ben was a little more hesitant, but ultimately did.

Here's Addie saying "I love the Binturongs."

The Safari Wago is really cute. It's such a great idea to have them protected from the sun!

The most exciting part of their zoo fun- petting the pygmy goats.

It was really nice, because we were the only three people in the goat area.



When we were done at the zoo, we went up to the playground and had even more fun!
Unfortunately my camera battery died just after we got there. I only have two pictures from the playground.

We got home after about 3 hours out in the fresh air! Both kids took naps and all was right with the world!
