Today we had another adventure with the grandchildren. Today we went to the zoo.
Our first stop was to feed the ducks. Emmett couldn’t toss the food pellets very far, so before long we had a gaggle [a bunch of ducks isn’t a gaggle, is it] of ducks by the fence. The intense concentration in the baby’s face was worth the admission.
Our next stop, the petting zoo, is Emmett’s favorite. Up close to the animals brings out the wonderment in the children. What goes on in their minds to see these creatures and to touch them?
Later we took a little respite from the walking with a sky ride. Momma Yvonne sat with her boys on the fifteen minute trip over the park. Cal was the old hand on the ride, but Emmett made his first trip at the treetops.
The day was filled with one piece of candy after another. I must remember to keep that child-like inquisitiveness every day of life. We all can learn from the children to reach out each day for those new experiences.
Ciao
