Today was a really good day. It was very busy, but also very good. I got to sleep until after 8:00 a.m. which is always nice. Michaela slept in, too.
After we all got up and had breakfast we decided to go to the zoo today. It was in the 70's today and cloudy, so it was not going to be too hot to be at the zoo. It did get sunny in the afternoon, but still it did not get hot.
We spent most of the day at the zoo. It was fun. It's been a long time since I took them to the zoo like that. We got the safari pass wrist bands so we could ride the train, carousel, and simulator ride. It also gave us admission to the sea lion show. Which was a lot of fun. The simulator was a bit rough for me and Michaela and Caleb really did not enjoy it either.
We did have lunch at the lakeside cafe there. I am proud of myself. I resisted the pretzel with cheese, the cheese fries and the chili cheese dog. I had a BLT croissant. While the bacon was probably not the best protein to have, at least I did get some veggies in there with my lunch and I only drank water today.
We left the zoo around 4:00 p.m. I stopped and got Arby's for the kids and Michael before we came home. I did not get anything for me because it was my night out with the ladies.
I went to Ladies Night at The Melting Pot. It was so much fun. We actually had 9 ladies go this time. Two people pooped out on us. One dumped us to go on a date with her husband. The other just was not able to be there.
We laughed so much last night. I have a feeling the other tables were glad when we left, but we were having fun. Our poor waiter, we just harassed him to no end. I mean, we weren't mean, just silly and a little naughty. We made him blush several times. The manager kept coming over to "scold" us, but really I think he just wanted in on the fun!!! *LOL* He was trying to get us to make a reservation again in two weeks. Both the manager and waiter were great.
Oh, and I won the door prize last night!!!! It is a very pretty pink hat (like Easter bonnet type hat). What is so funny about that is that when I dropped my kids off at my mom's last night she asked if everyone was close to my age... well no we have women in our group ranging from age 30 to 50. My mom said she was wondering because she thought we could be pink hat ladies. I just knid of frowned at her. She said, "Well, you're 40, so you're old enough." Whatever. Then, I go and win a pink hat!!! *LOL*
