Today we took a little trip to Springfield.
Once Mike told Micha we were going on a trip she went into her room and filled 3 wal-mart bags with stuff she wanted to bring. Mike talked her down to 1 bag by the time we left.
Once we arrived to Exotic Animal Paradise, Micha realized we were going to actually touch big animals. She was not impressed. We really thought she would love it. It is a drive thru zoo that is about 5 miles long. Nothing special just a bunch of lamas and ostriches running around pecking at your car. Logan got in the front with daddy and fed the animals while Micha refused to move out of her seat or roll her window down. She kept saying, we should pick another trip.
Although she was scared she was so brave the whole time, she laughed just as hard as we did when the animals tried to eat everything in our car!
Actually, I would say Mike and I had more fun than both of the kids. We haven't laughed that hard in a long time.
On the way home we were stopped for an hour and a half because of a wreck so the wal-mart bag did come in handy. It was very interesting to see the people out of their cars wandering up and down I-44, some walking their dogs, some relieving themselves on the side of the road. Micha actaully spotted the guy relieving himself, she was so embarrassed. ( some people amaze me)
We had such a good time together today, we were reminded of how different our kids are and how much we love everything about the both of them, and each other.
We are so busy all of the time that we don't often do these silly little things, though we realize now how important those silly little things are!
