There are some advantages to being poor students-you get free passes to stuff! We have City of Calgary Rec passes that get us dirt cheap into things, but they came with zoo passes so we can go twice/year for free! sweetness! So, today, we packed up sandwiches, drinks and fruit and headed to the zoo! Kennedy said her fav were the giraffes, Brian liked the hippos and I thought the camels were fun. Next year, they are getting penguins- I can't wait for that!!
They also have a butterfly room with tons of butterflies just flying around. I got one to crawl on my finger and tried to give it to Kennedy, but she was a bit jumpy and scared. She LOVES butterflies and talked for an entire spring about catching one with her net, but the thought of actually touching was not quite the same!
We had a super fantastic day. The weather was perfect. We only got rained on for about 5 minutes while we ate our lunch under umbrellas we brought. Aren't we prepared??
We all came home completely exhausted from walking for 3 hours straight, but we had fun. We love having Daddy home with us in the summer! this has never happened before. Every summer since we've been married he has worked for a landscaping company that he would work 10-12 hour days, so this is incredibly rare to have Brian with us in the summer! Yesterday we went to the lake and spent all afternoon swimming, playing aerobie, rafting and lounging. We're never going to want him to go back to work!
Happy Canada Day!
later
