I took Emma out to Palm Desert on Thursday morning to visit the Living Desert Zoo. We had never been here before and it was (duh!) really hot! Imagine that... the desert in summertime was hot. Surprise, surprise. But we had free pass from last year's library event and they were going to expire at the end of June, so we packed up some water and sunscreen and headed out for a Mommy-Daughter day. Hot or not, we still had a good time. We saw giraffes, zebras, some mountain lions and a cheetah. We also spent a good amount of time in the petting kraal and the aviary... yay for shaded areas! Emma commented on one of the birds, telling me "Look at that egret bird's neck Mama... It's shaped like an "S." My friend Sophia should come here to see it." She is such a smartie pants. It was a lot of fun and I think we will probably be back again, but in the winter time! In fact, Emma kept telling me that she loved the giraffes and zebras but, when I asked her what her very favorite part of the day was, guess her answer??? Yep, the 88 cent slushie we stopped for at Circle K after leaving the zoo! Too funny. They were pretty good slushies though... It's kind of ironic because I told Emma that we would stop for a treat when we left and gave her the option of ice cream, froyo, and a slushie. True to form, she chose a slushie and, given the option, that would be her choice probably 90% of the time. The irony lies in the fact that those darn slushies/ slurpees/ snowcones/ whatever you call them were the ONLY pregnancy craving I had with this little girl. And now, 4 years later, she still loves them!
