It's The Little Things...

The Best Mother's Day...At the Zoo

Since we will be busy tomorrow with our families, Dave and Ben decided to make "Mother's Day" for me today!

This morning, Ben gave me some presents... I got chocolates, a spa day and some muffin tins that I have been wanting!

Then we decided to go to the zoo, even though the forecast was for thunderstorms. We had beautiful weather at the zoo - it was +20 in the sun! Not a sign of rain all day! Ben had a blast. We went into the petting zoo and he had so much fun with the goats and baby lambs. He loved Lucy the elephant and got a kick out of the chickens and bunnies.

We shared our first chocolate ice cream cone of the summer (his first chocolate ice cream ever!). We also took a ride on the Merry-Go-Round. He was not too sure at the start and I was so dizzy by the end... its definitely dad's turn next time! We were going to ride the train - he did his "ohhhhhhh" every time we saw it drive by, but by the end I did not think he would last, so we called it a day.

We got Ben a Lucy the elephant stuffed animal at the gift shop - he absolutely loves it!

On our way home, we stopped off at Finesse Furniture because they are having a huge "Going Out of Business" sale. Ben and dad finished off my mother's day gift with a beautiful hutch for the dining room and urn for the stairs! I am one lucky Mama!

These are some of the many photos we took. I posted a lot of them because there were so many good ones. What a great day!
