Dear Scarlett,
All week I had been thinking about where we could bring you for some fun this weekend.
All week I had been thinking about where we could bring you for some fun this weekend.
Daddy picked up the movie "We bought a Zoo" from Redbox and we watched it Sunday evening, after you went to sleep. Really good movie. I especially love movies that are based on true stories.
So I woke up on Memorial Day and said to Daddy, "Let's bring Scarlett to the zoo."
Like a good Daddy, he found a small zoo that wasn't far from us. We packed you up in your red, white, and blue wear and headed out. You LOVED it! I thought maybe you would be too young to care. Not the case. My heart went pitter patter when you laughed at the goats who began butting each other. You giggled at the peacock who followed us through the zoo and you looked in amazement at the friendly duck who approached us.
You loved feeding the bears and couldn't quite figure out why on earth the monkeys kept dropping their cans on chains down from their loft. As we filled them with food and they pulled them back up, the monkeys chattered and you smiled.
All is right in the world when Scarlett smiles.
It was a Happy Memorial Day Weekend.
