How to Eat Un-Fried Worms

We had such a great day at the zoo on Wednesday. Sydney asks to go almost daily, so it was heaven for her. (She chased the geese around telling them not to poop anymore.) Both she and Mady each got to have a friend come with us, so we all (moms included) enjoyed a much needed day of fun with other people. Sydney and Kenzie held hands the whole time. Mady and Brooklyn are 3 days apart. They'll be best friends too.

And don't forget the animals. It was a tad chilly so we popped in to the bird house to warm up and got there just in time to help feed them. The girls got to grab some meal worms (yum!) and toss them to the birds. Here it is in fullblown technicolor:


Here's the transcript version:

Me (while holding Mady in one arm and my shiny new camera in the other): Good job! What's on your hand? Let me see. Have you got a bug right there? Flick it off. Flick it off. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! GROSSS!!!!!!! YUCK!!!!!! It's in her mouth!

Casey (other mom): She thought you said lick it off!

We don't use the word flick anymore. Also, I almost vomitted on the spot. Oh. My. Gosh.

On a happier note, both kids LOVED the carousel. It was new for Mady to like it, but it was so fun that she did! She kicked and giggled and held on just like a big girl!
When we rode the carousel, our friends were the only other people on it. And no one was in line. So they let us ride again. Which means Sydney chose a new animal. Tiger first, gorilla second. During our second ride a peacock got in our friend's stroller and stole Kenzie's PB&J (Casey chased the peacock and got it back). So the zoo worker got us all little bags of animal crackers.

Go to the zoo in December. It rocks.

That is HILARIOUS! I am laughing so hard right now! In Sydney's defense, I thought you said "lick it off" too until I read the transcript below the video. ;) That is so awesome you got a video of that.

That is so funny! Kenzie asked to go to the zoo yesterday and then she told me how Sydney ate a bug and it was yucky yucky. :) I love that you have this all on video so you can show this again on Sydney's first date :)
