My Valentines date

Valentines day happened to fall on a day that I didn't have language class

and my mind was swirling with anticipation of things to do and get done

around my neglected home. When I told Callan the good

news that mommy didn't have to go to "work' the next day and

would get to stay home with him he grinned his ever so big

smile and gave me a huge bear hug and said

"yay we can go to the zoo!!"

I looked at Cam and he being so wise told me the list of

to do's that I had built up could wait,

but the opportunity to spend the morning with your

3 year old at the zoo is a chance of lifetime.

I married a smart guy, he was so right. I am so

glad I took the time!

What better way to say I love you then with time spent together!



What a lucky girl to have such cute valentines, especially this one! The cute bear hat was sent to him by his Grandma Shirley and
I am glad he picked that one to bring, I think it entertained some of the animals.
they were all taking extra glances at him as he would walk by. :D

Look at the orangutan, wondering what the heck was on his head!

one of our favorite things about the DC zoo is the open air zip line that runs through it and you can watch the orangutan swing through. Super cool, as long as you don't get pooped on!

being Valentines day a lot of the animals had special little parties thrown for them. This little gorilla was a fan favorite. He had to be sneaky is getting his treats the older and much bigger gorillas were not in a sharing mood.

Can you tell the ape house is our favorite place to be.
