Matt and I took the girls to the Zoo in Portland. I have to say, the bats were my favorite. Probably because they were the only animal that I could get really close too. Probably because these flying creatures just amaze me at how they can hang upside down for longs periods of time and look quite comfortable and peaceful. I could have just stood their for hours and just watched them, mezmorized by their talents.
As for Callie, well... she was in one of her moods for a 3 year old. I don't think she really enjoyed it as much as we had hoped. She didn't really want to cooperate. I brought her stroller and she wanted nothing to do with it. She wanted to tour the zoo on her own terms. She'd want to go in one direction, determined to get her way and we would want to go in the opposite direction. She never got her way and she'd let you know of her dissaproval by throwing one of her tantrums. God, I love her like crazy. I love her with every bone and fiber in my body but I feel like I'm really loosing control of my battles and I'm begging for help and the patience to get thru this. I feel like I'm letting my oldest daughter, McKenzie down and not letting her enjoy her time with us because I'm constantly struggling with toddler issues.
Anyway, I did have a good time and hopefully in another year or two, we can take the girls back and have a more pleasant time.
