So far, today has been an exceptional day! Corban had a late night last night, so he slept in a little bit. We all got up and had monkey bread and Johnny put the new double stroller together then we headed out to the zoo. Caden was a little fussy at times, but it never took him much before he fell asleep. Corban LOVED the zoo. He had so much fun seeing all of the different animals and he got to walk around on his own quite a bit because it wasn't very crowded at all. The weather was just about perfect too. I can't tell you how many times I almost teared up at the stinking zoo because I was so happy just to see him enjoying himself so much and to think of what a little boy he's become. He made all of his animal sounds and was up close with a gorilla. I think that he enjoyed the elephants the most and I would probably say they're usually my favorites too. It's really cool this year because there were two baby elephants born earlier in the summer - they were SO cute.

Corban fell asleep as we were walking out of the zoo, so Johnny's upstairs trying to get him to lay down to finish his nap. Caden is still asleep in his car seat. I think I'm going to get some laundry done and make some Mexican Chili for dinner tonight. I think we might even treat ourselves with some "Under the Stars" icecream tonight too. Honestly, today has been the perfect day - I don't want to even think about it ending!
