To the zoo and beyond

It's 8:30, I've had my coffee, the clothes are in the dryer, and the zoo awaits. There really is no reason to be sitting here other than the shameful admission that if they're sleeping, they're not fighting.

The silence is bliss. Well, except for the snoring.

I should be online acquiring and paying for our family membership to the zoo. However, I'm a tad hung up on the "family plus one" membership and cannot seem to let it go. We have no "plus one", and even if we did, the Element will only seat two children. There is also the little known fact that I once lost a stranger's child at the Houston Zoo. To be fair, the other family did look like a lot more fun than watching me and a friend try to make sure ten children did not bolt in ten directions, and they did return him, so no harm no foul, right?

The "family plus one" membership comes with free admission to Zoo Boo, and I do love a good deal. Even if it means paying for a child whom we don't know, cannot transport and might possibly lose.
