Life's little moments: Fun at the Zoo... Part 2

Gluten for punishment should be the title of this post. Yes, the very next day (Friday) Hunter and I did it again. We packed up our things and headed over to Grandma Helen's house... Baby Olivia was back for a visit from Japan... Oh yea, and she brought her Mom (Elizabeth) and Dad (Andy), and Uncle Joe.

Hunter was so excited to see Olivia he couldn't wait. We got to Helen's, packed up our picnic lunch and off to the zoo we went. We got there, ate, then we were off to see the animals. The kids had a great time seeing all the animals, and baby Olivia was so cute repeating all of the animal names. They both had a favorite attraction (or two) and funny enough it was the same for both of them... Dippin Dotts Ice Cream and the Carousel. It was hot, and those two things were the coolest thing about the zoo that day! Olivia got the soft serve ice cream until she discovered my Dippin Dotts, then yes folks, I got a new best girlfriend. We sat on the grass and shared an ice cream it was fabulous!!! But all good things must come to an end... Seems Joe has the same mantra as Grandma Helen... "What my baby wants, my baby gets"!
Uncle Joe got Olivia her own Dippin Dotts... What a good uncle. Hunter didn't have much to say while we were enjoying our cool snack, because he was too busy inhaling it to even breath, as I mentioned It was HOT! After he finished my shy and timid little boy (Lol) was making friends with a group of little ones and having such a good time. We finished the day by checking out a few more exhibits, a train ride and a trip into the gift shop to buy the obnoxious toy giraffe hunter wanted. The walk back to the car seemed like ages because it was HOT!!!! Poor Daddy, by the time we met up, for him to take Hunter for the weekend, I was so grumpy and tired and Hunter was too... and we took it out on him! Sorry Daddy.... but it was HOT!!!! 104 degrees to be exact, despite the heat I am glad that we went. Grandma Helen was in her element with all of her babies, it was fun for me to watch. We love you all....
