Lessons from the Zoo

What I Learned At The Zoo:
I learned a lot at the zoo yesterday...most of it from someone I've known for 4 months. I learned that i will get up pretty early on a Saturday morning to go to the zoo on a day that it's forecasted to be close to 100 degrees. I will do this less because of my love of the zoo, but more because of my love for the chance to spend time with some people who I hold in my heart and who I don't get to be with nearly enough. I learned that a work week is better when you've got something to look forward to on the weekend. I learned that I will never get tired of seeing Leslie smile. I will never get tired of hearing Paisley's voice or seeing the look she gets on her face when she is happy or when she is serious. I learned that you should hold your mother's hand every single chance you get. I learned that if you smile and wave at people, they will think you are adorable. I learned that being scared and excited at the same time is one of the best feelings and when you let your dad hold you, you aren't scared anymore. I learned that, even if it's hot, just go with it and have a good time. Walk instead of ride. Rock a new hat even if you've never worn one before because you might just discover a look that makes you irresistible. I learned that if God can create a sea lion that is trainable, there might still be hope for me
