I was getting ready to hop in the shower to get ready for church this morning but I got a text from Tandi inviting me and Madi to go to the Knoxville Zoo. I asked Madi what she wanted to do and well, duh! So, we hurried and got ready to go visit the animals. The weather was perfect; overcast, cool and breezy. A lot of the animals were sleeping. It
was after lunch so their bellies were full. We made our way around the whole zoo and when we reached the exit, I was thrilled! Of all the times, Madi wanted to ride in her stroller practically the whole time so this Grammie was a little tired. Poor Sadie bug was exhausted too and was asleep within minutes of getting in the vehicle. We stopped in Knoxville at Texas Roadhouse for a late lunch/early supper. Stacy got to hold Sadie during his meal while she snoozed away. When we got home, Stacy took my car to Johnny's office to get his teeth tightened up. Those six months smile braces are beginning to look more like eight or ten months smile! We played outside until the girls were so dirty from Poppie's dirt and rocks they had to go straight to the bathtub. When I pulled Madi's shorts and panties off dirt fell all over the floor. Nice! I was on the phone in the garage when Tandi came running out to report that Madi had bit Sadie on the foot! That made me furious! I took Madi straight to her room and gave her a talking. I called Tandi on her cell phone and tried to get Madi to apologize to her and Sadie but she was too upset to even talk. I put her to bed without singing, scratching her back or
any attention. I think that was punishment in itself. She cried and hollered for me for at least thirty minutes. She finally went to sleep at 9 pm. I hate Madi put a damper on such a fun day. Poppie got home at 9:15 from the pea field. Bless him!
Madi petting the camel
What a big girl riding the camel! I was pleasantly surprised that she would ride, alone!
Sadie is not too sure about that hairy monster staring at her!
Madi wants to be an "animal doctor" when she grows up!
When we got home it was play time
How sweet...Madi is wiping Sadie's snotty nose!
Dirt is so much fun!
