we got annual passes to the zoo + the aquarium for christmas and i thought it was time we put them to good use. one random morning, i braved up and decided take the girls to the zoo! and hurried, packed up the girls, and left before i could change my mind. it was completely p a c k e d because the weather was overcast aka perfect. we got so, so lucky that someone pulled out as we were driving by and we got a front row spot. where i totally nursed scarlett in the backseat before we got out.
i gotta say, i'm pretty impressed with myself for containing both girls by myself and having so much fun together. we made it all the way to the otters, where amelia told me she had to pee. after that, amelia asked to play in the splash pad, and i figured we could visit the rest of the zoo another day. we had lunch (okay, amelia had lunch and i wondered why i forgot to pack myself anything) while scarlett munched on my glasses and made faces at us. we went back around to see the elephants for a second time, and amelia yelled out, "they're pooping mommy! so much! like daddy does!" i'm pretty sure i peed my pants a little. but really, those elephant poops were ginormous.
i managed to keep the girls awake for the drive home, even though they were exhausted and the three of us took a nap together. mission accomplished!
