The Pierce Family: Trip to the Z - O

Trip to the Z - O - O

Recently, Eric and I started spelling words around Kinsley so she doesn't know what we are talking about. Saturday morning during breakfast I asked Eric, "It is supposed to be warm today. After we clean the church do you want to take the girls to the Z - O - O?" From the other room Kinsley screams, "I want to go to the ZOO!!!!!" Looks like we will have to stop spelling and resort to speaking pig latin.

Did I mention it was a beautiful day? With weather like this in January you HAVE to spend it outdoors!

Aila loved being pushed around in her stroller and eventually fell asleep.

We saw a bunch of six year old kids with balloons in this limo. Seriously, who rents a zebra Hummer Limo for their kids sixth birthday?

Optometry people may find this humorous. I got these new sunglasses at Opti Fest and wore them to the zoo. Whenever I went to take a picture the screen on my camera would go blank. I told Eric, "We need a new camera. This one keeps blanking out on me."

He paused and said, "Are those your new glasses?"

"Yes."

"Don't they have polarized lenses?"

A light goes on.... "Well, that explains it! Can I still get a new camera?" I guess I can't wear sunglasses when I take pictures.

Jason does the pig latin thing, but I never spoke it as a kid so I am a nerd and have to sit there and translate every word in my head :0)!; February 2, 2011 at 1:45 PM
Lant Family said...: I am sure the zoo was a great place on Saturday! I heard it was packed. I wish the weather was here to stay, I hate that it is freezing cold again. Oh well we still bundle up and go out for a short while to get some fresh air. Funny about the glasses. JJ keeps telling me I need new ones.; February 2, 2011 at 3:38 PM

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
