epic day

It was a beautifully cool day here yesterday. Lots of sunshine and comfortable breezes. Most of the leaves are out and there is starting to be plenty of shade.

The Beloved Spouse came home from mass in a really good mood and said, "What is our outdoor plan for today children?"

The Right Hand Man spouted out, "Go to the zoo." (He was getting ready for work and I think he secretly wanted to go with us! How many 22 year olds suggest the zoo as an outing for their families??? LOVE that young man!)

So we did.

It was crazy busy. Apparently the whole city had the same idea we did!

We "borrowed" a wheelchair for Smoochie and we made it through the entire zoo. It was a spectacular visit. Made a DQ run on the way home.

Buggie proceeds to say, "Mom, what a great day this is."

T-Rex bought pizza for dinner so I wouldn't have to cook.

Wickers says, "Mom, what a great day this is."

sigh.....

Was it Mother's Day again? Because this is the kind of day you expect on Mother's Day. I suppose that made it even sweeter because it wasn't a day manufactured out of obligatory sentiment, but a true desire to spend family time on beautiful spring day.

I recognize that I am eternally blessed and grateful....

a good mother would!
