Zoo Day!!!

What a day. Saturday we went to the zoo and met a couple of Brody's friends, their parents and one of his teachers, Mrs. Sarah. I did not realize how tiring the zoo could be. I was spoiled to being able to just stroll through the zoo and look at all the animals. Well, not with four 3 year olds, one 2 year old, one 4 year old and one 18 month old. We did not stroll, we ran through the entire zoo. They would look and run. Brody said his favorite animal was the catfish and the elephant. He loved the snakes also. Yuck!!! We were in the Brazos River Authority looking at all the animal that live up and down the Brazos River, Brody yells to Bryan - "OH, MY JESUS, LOOK AT THAT SNAKE!!!"We were at the zoo for 3 1/2 hours. It was a great time. We had all planned to have a sack lunch in the park afterwards but everyone just wanted to get home. I had packed a lunch so we found a quiet little table in the park and enjoyed a picnic. Brody loved it, he even ate all of his sandwich. That is a first.

We headed home for a nice night at the ranch. We sat on the patio, had a glass (or two) of wine, had a fire, grilled steak and salmon and listened to Texas Saturday night. It was very relaxing, wonderful family time.
