Zoorific time!

This Wednesday, E and I chilled on the patio after breakfast. I with a latte in hand, E with a golf club. The weather was breathtakingly perfect. I instantly decided this was not a day for working out (read: lack of total motivation w/o Sarah to make me go to SS) and grabbed my phone and quickly composed a text to see who was up for some fun at the zoo. Well, thankfully one of my gfs, Megan who is N's mom, was up for some fun and was actually headed to the zoo with a neighbor and some of her friends. We packed a picnic lunch, our trusty all weather blanket, and the diaper bag and headed to the zoo.  We got all the kids locked and loaded and headed in, and my goodness there were a ton of us. We went to the Africa exhibit, and made it to feed the Giraffes! We were at the Elephants when we decided it was time for lunch. Unfurled our blankets and started eating, more like herding cats - there were 5 toddlers and 2 infants. It was fun, the kids ate each others foods, the babies were passed around to herd toddlers, and the adults actually had some great convo. By far my favorite moment of the day is when N was trying to get into the Elephant exhibit. He was sticking his bottom through the fence when Megan grabbed him. I tell you, these boys! Needless to say, the kids had a blast and the parents all agreed that we should make a Saturday play group, since the kids and parents got along so well. We'll just say that it will be a muffins and coffee/mimosa playgroup, the more casual the better. What a great day, and it all started with a whim and a text...I love it when it all falls into place! xoxo
