Monday

We spent an amazing day with an awesome kid! Mark turned five, so for his birthday me and Sara took him to the zoo. He is so smart, and cute, and funny, and amazing!

He talked from the moment we picked him up, till the moment we said goodbye.....nonstop......(Sara was exactly like that from the moment she started talking- just saying)

He is quite the jokester, and we tricked Sara, and he was right, there are no horses at the Fort Worth Zoo- and no cotton candy(which was the bet)...what's up with that?

He talked on every phone, and listened and repeated what he heard, we fed birds- but not Sara, she's scared, he hammed it up for the camera, he "read' each animals name, he scared Sara in the bat house, the alligators 'freaked him out' , we found the monkeys with rainbow butts, we never saw the big scary bird from Diego- and we searched for him, Sara and Mark rode the carousel, we ate skittles and Sara and Mark talked thru the entire Texas movie- sorry people that were behind us......we saw cougars and mountain lions, no jaguars ( jaguwaters) and his favorite- smashing a penny! in the penny smashing machine. He picked a meerkat, and carried it around for the rest of the trip, with his cell phone.....lol, they built a sand castle, measured wing spans, heard a huge lion roar over and over, saw the cute penguins, and a cagillion other things...

It was a great day!
