What a Wonderful World

Some days are just perfect.
...Days when you get both boys into the car and on the road to the Wild Animal Park by 8:19 AM.
...Days when you give them their snack and get them into the park by 9:00AM.
...Days when you push them up to Condor Ridge, and give them the talk about being good, and listening to what Mommy says, and holding her hand when she asks, and it appears that they are listening. (at least when you ask them if they are they point to their ears which is our sign for listening)
...Days when you spend an hour running around the "ridge" and there's NO ONE around.
...Days when you allow your boys to walk out the the Elephant Overlook and they hold your hand the whole way, and only try to pull away a couple of times.
...Days when one boy actually listens and stays put while you change the other's poop in pants instead of trying to make a break for it while you are defenseless.
...Days when you are lucky enough to stumble on an unscheduled animal encounter, and your boys get to see a 2 year old female Red Kangaroo up close and personal. AND you let them out of the stroller again and they stay put! (and this is not in a easily corral-able area)
...Days when your boys run screaming and laughing after the gazelle in the petting zoo, because they just want to give it a hug.
...Days when they both eat their lunches with little or no fight. (It could have been those ducks eying their food that made them gobble like that)
...Days when one boy is sound asleep even before we get out of the parking lot.
...Days when we get home and both boys sleep until almost 2:30.

Ahhhhh, Some days are just perfect, and so are some little boys! (At least today anyway)
