Our summer days are dwindling fast, but there’s still just enough time to pack in one last Summer Bucket List item- a trip to the zoo! We visited our local AZA accredited zoo recently, thanks to Stonyfield YoKids, who is sponsoring this post, and you guys, I felt like such a rockstar parent for pulling it off.
It was an easy and fun trip for all of us, and yours can be, too! Here are some tips:
Scott just got back from the last business trip of 3. In a row. This last one was 8 straight days, of which the kids were in school for none.
I know, I’ve already complained about this before, but it was rough.
During those 8 days, I had to come up with stuff to do, reasons to get us all out of the house for a few hours every day, for fear we turn all Lord Of The Flies on each other. Hence the crazy reason why I attempted a movie with a toddler and a preschooler by myself.
I briefly contemplated taking the 2 of them to the zoo before he got back, but held back because I wanted Scott to be there for Leyna’s first visit.
THANK GOD.
We went today, and I’m now certain there is no way I would have survived a trip to the zoo with the 2 of them by myself. I would have probably thrown myself to the Gorillas. With Scott there, though, all was well.
Parenting partners FOR LIFE, YO!
Really, he’s the best.
