A Day With Friends and Animals

On Monday, my girlfriends and I took our kids to the park and zoo. It was a great day though it started a little cloudy and a bit cold. The original plan was to pick my gf and her daughter at 9am but I forgot I had to go for a blood test too. I didn't finish until 9:45 so I got to her house around 10am. I brought a bagful of carrots to feed the sheep, goats, donkey, horse, llamas, deer, and potbellied pig. And they have feed dispensers there too where you can get some corn for a quarter. My son was not scared feeding the animals, even letting them lick the corn out of his tiny palm.

My son and I have been to this park and zoo several times before, but each time we visited we only spent time feeding the animals. This time we took the kids to the playground and had a picnic too. My son was the oldest at 3 while his little friends were 18 to 26 months. So you can just imagine how fast he ran away and he was fearless climbing up and sliding down the tallest slide.

I was starving that day, I didn't have anything for breakfast. I had several servings of spaghetti and fresh fruits, I was so bloated afterwards. I haven't been to the gym for the longest time. Hb was very busy in his new job and he also travels now, so I'm stuck with my son all the time. It feels like I must have put on several pounds again. I think I will go the easy route of taking the best diet pills to achieve my ideal weight before I leave for my vacation.

Anyway, here are the pictures I took of our day in the park and zoo.

Good thing there was a piece of carrot left for the potbellied pig.
