Trip to the Zoo

Sunday we took Angelica to her first zoo experience. We went to Point Defiance Zoo & Acquarium in Tacoma. The weather was beautiful and all the animals were out. Angelica loved it and you could just see her little brain taking everything in and realizing that all these animals we read about our REAL! It was a fun day had by all, especially my husband as you can see from all the animal pictures we got...

How much we love our children....

So, yesterday as I was sitting in the chair in the family room...my little Angel who was contently playing with her books on the floor, walked over to my lap and dropped something on it. When I looked down, I saw a lovely big black spider crawling on my leg. For those who know me, I hate bugs and most specifically spiders. So of course I jumped up and screamed as my little one looked at my very worried as to what was going on. I realized I needed to collect myself and do what I most dreaded...killing the spider as my husband was still at work. So I took a deep breath and did it...all for the love of my little one. I realize I must prepare myself for me of these wonderful adventures as Angel continues to grow...although I still shudder to think of that spider crawling on my leg and in my little ones hands...
