E: "You can just pretend to take pictures."
Luckily, we saw a friend at the zoo and I asked her to snap a picture of the two of us together so we could remember this spontaneous outing. To tell the story straight, I saw this friend and we chatted for awhile, I thought about asking her to take our picture with her camera, but didn't want to sound dumb. Then Ella wanted to get going in her adventure alone at the zoo, so we said goodbye and walked to another exhibit.I kept thinking about asking our friend to take a picture, but then kept putting it out of my mind. We then walked back to where my friend was and another friend was there! We talked again, and I thought again about the picture. Finally, I just went ahead and asked her. And I am so glad that I did! Look at this snapshot....
Just before our ride on the carousel started, Ella turned and whispered to me: "You are my most favorite girl in the world." I had to ask her again what she said.....
Then I was glad that we forgot about all that needed to get done today, and we went to the zoo.
Yes, life DOES seem perfect on blogs.
Ella also asked me if we could buy a goat today. She said that she would keep it in a cage in her room. With the way her room looks right now, it seems a goat has been living there for weeks!
{Thanks Christina!}

ReplyDeleteSign me up for the Ella Fan Club! I just love that little girl.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you asked for the picture, because it's perfect! Ella is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh and to support Ella's request... Goats keep your lawn cropped down so you wouldn't need to mow.
:)
That is a beautiful picture!! The weather was perfect for the zoo and who wouldn't want a goat? Great story, I love the little minds of kids.
ReplyDeletethey can say the best of things but that.. by far could be one of the best..too cute.
ReplyDeleteI LOL on my death bed, that is how funny the goat story is. I've seen Ella's room and i'm sure a goat already lives in there. Love the picture of the two of you. So cute.
ReplyDeletesuch a cute picture! Ella is beautiful, just like her Mom! What a fun day you had a the zoo. You have inspired me to do more spontaneous things with my kids.
ReplyDeletedarling photo of both of you, kim! fun story too. thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewow what a great picture. That little Ella is so dang funny, I think her and Kirsten are 2 peeds in a pod. Can't wait to see you guys soon!
ReplyDeleteThat can't possibly be my Ella that I took care of in the hospital! How big they get! I think you should get her a goat, maybe her room would get clean, cuz the goat would eat the junk. Let me know if it works, cuz Emma could use the assitance, although hers is such a mess, we might need more than one!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think that life does look perfect on blogs! But I also think that blogs make us look at our life in a different way, and enjoy these little things! Beautiful picture, it should be on a scrapbook page! :) Love, Débora
ReplyDeletetoo funny about the goat! Love the beautiful pic!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture! That is what good friends are for! Children are a blessing! A gift from God!
