Sunshine Sunday


Since the sun was shining and it was nice and dry after church, we decided to head to the zoo for a couple of hours. The zoo is up in the hills though, and it was still pretty cold, even when you're walking for miles. We first went to the Lorakeets since we have been missing them the last few trips to the zoo. Then we went to the jungle area where the jeep is to let the kids play on it for a while. For whatever reason, they love this jeep, but Mommy and Daddy usually skirt it so we can see the actual animals when we come. But they played for quite a while today and had a good time.


It's amazing to me: we don't watch television except for a couple of shows on PBSKids or Discovery Channel a couple times a month, we took the kids to exactly three movies last year (Artic Tale, Ratatouille, and Meet the Robinsons), we always skip the commercials when we watch DVDs, and we don't get any magazines or newspapers or catalogs that the kids look at, but STILL when Ryan saw this telescope at the giraffe exhibit the first thing he said was, "Look, it's WALL-E!" I have to admit, it does look like him. It's just incredible to me how easily kids pick up on things...I've barely heard of the movie, let alone remember the name!
