We went to Brookfield Zoo today. It's a lot of fun. There is a new carosel that just opened a few weeks ago. It is beautiful with lots of hand-carved wooden animals. Nikki loves to go on it and Elizabeth today was shrieking with glee when she saw we were going to go on it (for the third time). Now that she is more alert, she loves to watch all the people and of course the animals are interesting too. The butterfly exhibit gives her a bobble-head as she tries to watch every butterfly flit around. Too funny.
Today there was a little chipmunk foraging around where we were eating lunch. The people at the table next to us had some nachos, so the dad took a chip and broke a piece off and threw it to the chipmunk...he ate it all up. Then his older daughter tried to get him to take a chip out of her hand and that little chipmunk came up, put his paw on her hand to take the chip and she freaked out and scared that poor little chipmunk away.
Today's trip was marred by a phone call telling me that the website I host was down. So we had to leave early (we left at 1:45) when we would've normally left around 3 or 4. Of course I couldn't do anything when we got home, since I didn't know what to unplug and what to re-plug in. Maybe next time I'll leave the cell phone at home so I can enjoy my day more.
Of course I have to bring all the baby stuff-bottles, formula, toys (she usually doesn't play with them), a paci, and blanket. Plus our lunches, so I end up carrying a ton and pushing Elizabeth in the stroller. Maybe the last of the weight will come off and I will be down to my goal weight.
