Barnyard Bliss

The day finally arrived and Sydney, unable to control her excitement, woke extra early, came into my room and proceeded to stare at my unconscious face, sleeping soundly in a state of cataleptic bliss. It wasn’t long before I detected the secretions of Syd’s morning halitosis seeping into my dream and I woke with a jolt. Even through my groggy, sleep deprived eyes, one look at her beaming face reminded me it was field trip day at preschool.

We made our way to the kitchen to enjoy breakfast. We checked sugar, weighed cereal, and gave Syd a bolus of insulin. She inhaled the food and got dressed. By now it was only 7:30 a.m. 2 ½ more hours until the coveted field trip. Morgan was even feeling the field trip love and got dressed without throwing a fit. The morning was good. The time passed, much too slowly for Sydney’s liking, but eventually we arrived at the petting zoo. And this is where the pictures will tell the rest of the story with limited commentary from Shamae. :-)

~Bolusing for breakfast.


~The tortoise. Sydney is telling Morgan to be careful. Morgan is a much more daring child. Most mishaps in our home are started by my curious, beautiful little Morgan. When Syd saw the tortoise was ok to touch....


~She decided to give it a try. You can't see it but her other hand is clinging to my friend Jen in case things go awry.


~Playing "American Idol" on the stage at the zoo.


~Her and her friend Kendra arrested! They are in the big slammer.

~Morgan feeding a baby goat.

~Morgan is such a fun kid. She will try almost anything once which is great and scary at the same time.

~Sydney feeding the goats. Notice her stance. She is ready to bolt...you know, in case the cute kid goats morph into flesh eating, fence destroying creatures determined to annihilate the human race.

~Cute Syd patronizing her camera wielding mother.

~Morgan checking out a hen and her eggs. Overall it was a very fun day!
