Anyone who knows G understands his love of the Zoo.
Any zoo and every zoo.
It's a 'must do' for our little family (and any fellow travelers who happen to be with us) no matter which city or which continent we happen to be visiting.
A few weeks back we received an invite to an annual special event at our local zoo for those of us who have an 'Exceptional Family Member'.
We prepared for an "exciting night .... as you visit dream stations, enjoy delicious food, and meet some of our animal friends."
The anticipation at our house was about as fun as it gets for G.
June 3rd, 5:30p.m. finally arrived!
We spent a full half hour watching the river otters performing the same routine over and over. Laughed over the pot bellied pig's enthusiasm for his dinner. And were fully entertained at the grizzly bears antics.
The only downer, G was so homesick for his cousin Hannah he said his heart hurt.
We enjoyed the pace. Loved the enthusiasm of the volunteers. Relished seeing so many families enjoying one another.
The planning that goes into an event like this makes my heart swell. Just because

It does look like a dreamy night. I know he would miss home but the zoo here is out of control. We would love to introduce Garrett to Ya Ya and Le Le.
How FUN!!!
