Someone called me this morning who I’ve never hung out with before. She asked if I wanted to go to the zoo. We know their family from church–it was refreshing to hang out with someone new. She was very sweet, and our kids got along great. Brayden already knew Olivia from Sunday school. Carter on the other hand, went completely gaga over the other little girl. By the end of our play date, he wouldn’t let her out of his sight and wanted to do nothing but hold her hand.
The funny thing about the zoo today was the lack of people who were there. It was probably the very last day in the sixties until the spring, and it was nearly empty. Even more strange was that we ran into three other people that I knew. It was like a little party. One of them ended up joining our little play date, leaving us with a little troop traipsing around the zoo. Brayden and Olivia had another fun four year old to play with. Carter and Lucy had another little munchkin. We pooled together our lunches and ate merrily while watching the sea lions.
We also ran into my friend, Christy, who was there with her husband celebrating their daughter’s first birthday. Christy, bless her heart, dropped off eight moving boxes today. We were plum out, so that was a blessing for sure.
And in the evening? What’s more fun than throwing all of the couch cushions on the floor and jumping all over them? Practically nothing.
There was a whole lot of giggling going on in the Chase house.
