Reward

What a great day we had yesterday! It was a Friday and Daddy stayed home with us to go to the Indianapolis Zoo (I know that's what its called cuz Mom looked it up on the computer). I finally finished my new food chart (30 new foods - well, really 29 since Mom counted chicken and rice for 2 spots since I ate it so good) and I got to go to the zoo and ride the roller coaster!!! The only problem is, it turns out Mom was right. Roller coasters are fast and I must be like Mom - I didn't like going that fast. It was all good until we got to the top of that hill (which I'm pretty sure was as big as Mount Everest) - then can you believe, we dropped straight down - and zoomed around a corner at top speeds! I just kept saying, 'no, no, no, no' - but they didn't listen because we kept going around (3 times to be exact). So after that experience, my favorite ride was the carousel. Nice and slow, up and down, around and around. I rode it twice. I sat on a dolphin both times because after the dolphin show, I LOVE dolphins!. Evelyn liked the lights and music at the dolphin show, but those trainer's whistles scared her. I can't believe that the dolphins can jump out of the water that high! I think I want to be a trainer when I grow up - I even practiced a few of the hand signals. I'm a natural! ;)

My favorite animal (besides the dolphin) was the giraffe. I was going to feed it but then Mom said to watch how it gets the food out of your hand, so I did. It has a super duper long stick icky tongue - and its black! YUCK! So, I just got close and watch them while the other kids fed the giraffe. The penguins were pretty cool too. I loved to watch them swim under the water!

When we got back in the car, I assured Mommy & Daddy that I was NOT tired....but then my eyelids got SO heavy.

Here - E2 wants to say something....

You know what I did the whole time? Slept. Mom said I was too small to ride the rides (which unlike my big "Sissy", I wouldn't be scared! Bring em on!) - so I just slept. And that bit about being scared of the trainer's whistle at the dolphin show.... I wasn't scared. I just felt an uncontrollable urge to do flips and blow bubbles. It was hard to keep from showing off and stealing the show from those dolphins. Mom said the place was pretty germy too, so I just felt like it'd be a good day to take a nap outside and enjoy the fresh air! Although, when we got home, I let her know how disappointed I was that I couldn't ride the Kombo Coaster.....

Love from both of us - E1 and E2
