Winter Wendesdays.....

Well this wasn't the full post that I wanted, but this will have to do.
I have more pictures that I wanted to add, but every time I tried to add them, it would take forever, so I gave up for now. I've been trying to post these pictures for over a week.
It's the holiday season! I don't even want to think about it.
Plus the weather is turning colder, which I don't mind. I love the snow! Yes you heard me. I ♥ SNOW! Not the freaky snow that cuts off your power for a few days and puts a 4 foot snow drift in front of your garage and you can't get out.
I enjoy just a nice smooth, crisp layer of white snow. Makes me want to put up the Christmas tree.
Now for a switch... Last Wednesday my brother sent me a text saying it was Winter Wednesday at the Zoo and the admission was just $2 per person! So guess where we went!
THE ZOO!!!! It was really nice. It was 65 degrees, the wind wasn't blowing and the sun was out. Maddie had a big smile on her face, and a large box of popcorn. It was a perfect afternoon.
Here are some pictures from our fun. Not all the animals were out, but we did see quite a few.













Ahhh...the petting zoo. Last time I took Maddie to the zoo, I stayed away from this area. I just knew it would freak her out. But since Uncle Matt was there, we went this time. I had back up helper. When we got to the area where the "pellet eating" creatures were, we noticed something was much different. The head butting fur balls were gated off in their own little area. So now they wouldn't charge at you when you were at the food machines. WTH! When we were kids and you went to this section of the Zoo it was do or die. You would get bombarded by 5 or 6 of them so they could be the fist to get all of 7 pellets that you paid a whole quarter for. I was in shock. But also happy that my child wasn't clung to me and screaming in total fear.
Although I can't say much, because there is a childhood photo of me (somewhere) in this section at the Zoo, where I am in a stroller screaming my head off.





Happy Holidays!
