Day Off

Today Daddy took the day off from work.  Carmen was confused, but presently surprised, when Daddy was not at work this morning, but home.  Every single morning Carmen asks me where Daddy is, and every single morning my reply is the same; he's at work.  Today he was home, which meant hot chocolates for the kids and a vanilla latte for mommy.  A good start to the day. 

On today's agenda was a family trip to the zoo.   It's always amazing to me that each time we go, we see something completely different.  Today's highlights included:

 

Up  close with the orangutans

 

 Bath time for the elephant

Practicing being an elephant

Big bear going for a swim

Spending time with Daddy

 

 Scary komodo dragon

Then, it was errand time, a casual dinner after much-needed baths and then watching Frozen (for the 100th time) with popcorn to round out the night.  

Not bad for a day off!
