Family Day - part 2

I wanted to drive into the country - north, Ken suggested east. I wanted away from people and away from stuff. I wanted trees and fields. Kate didn't want to be outside. She said "I'm not going anywhere unless it's the zoo." Ken and I thought, well, we could do that. Alice voted zoo, and then Fiona voted zoo, and that was that.

There were so many people. I didn't want to be near people. But it all worked out. We all had a fun zoo visit. I love having a pass because then we can duck in and out and not feel put out - especially now that we live so close, but we really haven't been going that often anymore. I'm not sure that we'll renew the pass right away, maybe we'll wait until the Science Centre pass expires. It makes me sad to think about though, man I sure do love the zoo; so many years and years and years of happy memories!

Fiona was tired, Alice was tired, heck we were all tired, but we still managed to have a fun trip, and I got to go to Africa! I've been wanting to go the last few visits, but the kids votes seemed to outweigh mine.

When I took the picture of Alice and Kate, I said there it is girls, this is what it's all about, loving each other. They were so cute. I am so thankful for my family. And for family day!

And of course, where would we end the day?! Earlier this afternoon Fiona and I had the following conversation:

Fiona: (Whispering) Are we going on an adventure?
Me: (Whispering back) Do you want to go on an adventure?
Fiona: (Huge smile, still whispering) I want to go to McDonald's on an adventure!

So we went to McDonald's on Kingston Rd, just east of Sheppard.

I am so thankful for my beautiful family! What a happy Monday!
