Marlee Had Fun At The Zoo

Marlee and her family were so happy to finally be back on the road and headed for home. They had gone on vacation and had a great time, but Marlee thought about her toys at home and her very own bed. She had missed her own little bedroom. She missed Grandma B's bed too, because if she smiled just right and said, "Tom and Jerry," Grandma B would let her lay on her bed and watch that cartoon. She would even let her eat some snacks in her bed once in awhile. Stashia just loved it when Marlee ate Rice Krispy bars in bed.
Marlee's daddy said, "We only have one day on the road until we get home again. I just can't wait to sleep in my own bed again. Then the next day we will have a day of rest before we go back to work. Marlee's mama said, "Yes, and there is a lot of laundry to do. We were gone almost a week longer than we thought we would.
They drove until they got hungry for a late breakfast. Marlee's daddy pulled into a parking lot that had a nice looking cafe. Everyone was busy getting out of the car, when they all heard, "I can't believe this, there is Uncle B's car, Marlee. I wonder if your Aunt Naynay is here too. They all rushed into the cafe and sure enough there they both were. They were just ordering their breakfast. They got tables pushed together and they all started talking at once. They talked mostly about the terrible blizzard that they got stuck in. But they also talked about what Uncle B and Marlee's aunt were going to do that day. Guess what, they were going to go to the zoo! Marlee had never been to the zoo. Of course, Uncle B and  her Naynay wanted to take her with them. They asked if it was okay and of course, it was.
The zoo had lots of people visiting that day. It was a beautiful sun shiny day.

Marlee liked to have her Uncle B carry her sometimes. She liked to be up high so she could see and besides that sometimes her little legs got really tired. She had lots of fun being silly with her Uncle and her Aunt and pretending to be a monkey even! Here are some pictures of their day. Have you ever been silly and had fun when you had your picture taken? It's lots of fun and when Marlee gets older she will laugh when she looks at these pictures, won't she?
