“I Can Kiss the Zebras Tomorrow, Maybe.”
Last Saturday, we took Millie to the Fort Worth Zoo for the first time. Though she has been to my family’s ranch and Bobby’s parents’ ranch, she has never been around such exotic animals as zebras and monkeys and lions, oh my!
I am so glad I was actually able to document her reactions to each twist and turn of our adventure. She was a little tentative at first, but gradually took it all in and decided she was pretty in love with all of the creatures before her. What an incredible experience it was, looking at these gorgeous animals through the eyes of a 2 year old. It made me stop and revisit the notion that our world is a miraculous place to live, and we should all aim a bit higher to keep it that way.
Bobby and Mills head down to the first of the animals.
Moving veeeeerrrry slowly toward the fence.
My very own little monkey.
Bobby and Millie try to sound like an elephant. Does he? Oh yeah. Does she? Not so much. =)
Mills the fashionista is checking out another zoo visitor’s get-up. “Ooooo, I know she isn’t wearing that! That is so not Raven!”
I am IN LOVE with these two crazy kids.
For Mother’s Day, will somebody order me this in a 24×36 inch canvas? Sigh. My family rocks.
