We went to the zoo last Saturday. It was a beautiful day and we all had a great time and were definitely worn out from the day. The girls are more difficult now because they don't want to stay in the stroller. They want to walk around and explore which I can't blame them for it but it is hard when it is just me. Thank you daddy for going with us. Aleck and Beebee also went and Brenda and I had the discussion of getting leashes for our children. Now you people who are scowling and thinking to yourselves I would never do that to my kid, I challenge you to walk a day in my shoes and I promise, you would feel the same way. They sometimes go different ways and it scares me at times. I would rather ease my mind then have something horrible happen. I love to take them places and I am not going to stop doing that because it is too hard to keep them together. I love for them to experience different things and will continue to let them grow. I honestly think Gary understood why I want leashes after the zoo trip. I thought I could go to the zoo by myself but soon realized it would be too difficult at this time. I know this is short lived and I will be able to at some point.
I took them to the park today and at one point Presley ran one way and Brooke ran the other way and let me tell you Brooke saw another play ground and she was gone. Presley on the other hand was running towards the swings which were the opposite direction. Thank goodness for Brenda. I ran to get Presley and deposited her closer to Brenda and ran after Brooke. They both were mad and crying and were not consolable, so we realized it was time to leave. That literally wore me out. Up until that time we were having a nice time at the park. As we were leaving we had the leash discussion again and it just confirmed it in my mind. Walmart here I come!
