Soggy Animals and Happy Kids

So I know I said in an earlier post that we would not be going to the zoo... well we did anyway. Last night Jerry told me that he thought the weather was going to go south and miss us. Well the thunderstorms did ...the rain however showed up in full force. After church I ran to Wal Mart and bought all the supplies I thought we were going to need. This morning I had to run back to Wally world and buy Sophie a raincoat with a hood. So to sum up our experience:

1-raincoat $7.00
3-tickets to the zoo $15.00
1-hot pink t-shirt I had to have for the zoo $7.00
Seeing Sophie walking in the rain having the time of her life-Priceless
Getting stuck in wreck traffic and hear 4 giggling voices putting on puppet shows with their wet socks-Priceless.

We ended up eating lunch back at the school and I had the privilege of having a little boy (that rode with me to the zoo) ask if he could sit by me at lunch. That was very special to me because this little guy is raised by his grandparents. From what I understand his parents were not fit. He is a very spirited little guy and he made me feel like the Queen of the class when he asked to sit by me.

Pruney toes apparently are the funniest things going right now. One of the little guys in my car took his shoes off first and declared that he had Grandpa feet. We are all sporting this funny phenomenon and we had fun getting them. We saw all of the animals, carried umbrellas, and splashed in puddles. Who could ask for more...Not me!
