UPDATE – Please take a moment to read the post where Blank Park Zoo has addressed the concerns I had regarding some of the animals.
____________________________________________
Jordan came home yesterday. YAY! The girls had been begging for a zoo trip yesterday, so after he got home we loaded up and took off.
It was hot. Very hot. Too hot + my kids = miserable trip to the zoo.
Whine whine whine. Moan moan moan. There’s nothing to do mom!
????
Really? At the zoo?
I had fun at least.
Christiano didn’t. I examined his mouth last night when we got home and he has 2 molars (finally) popping through and at least 1 top front and 1 bottom front coming in. Explains the cranky on his part. The other 3 have no excuse.
I took a boatload of pictures again. This is only about 1/3 of them. The ones I deemed acceptable to share with the world. I didn’t get time to line up the shots like I usually like to, my kids were cranky and wanting to move on.
Notice something missing from the stroller? The handle perhaps? I put the double stroller in the garage and grabbed one of my single strollers (I have way too much baby equipment.) I haven’t used this one this year. I got to the zoo, unfolded it and said where in the world did the handle go? I had to push it by the cup holders. Not happy.
Jordan searching for change to squish a penny.
I think these are the grossest bugs ever. They used to always be on Fear Factor when it was on TV. Madagascar hissing cockroaches. EW!
That’s a summary of our zoo trip. It kinda stinks. They are remodeling a bunch of areas at the zoo so the big mammals are still MIA. I say kinda because our animals could really use having their enclosures made bigger, fixed up, snazzied up a bit. Give them a little spunk to their quarters. You get the point.
I just feel for those who are paying full price admission to see the petting zoo and bugs more or less. 
Like I said, when we came home I inspected Nano’s mouth. He was in some serious moodage.
I went to the cupboard in search of my go to relief since I found it 2 kids ago. I always keep a 3 pack of Hyland’s Chamomilla
Nooooooooo.
I took EVERYTHING out of my medicine cupboard, frantically searching for it. That was the last bottle I used.
Crap.
I use the Chamomilla over the Hyland’s Teething Tablets
I was out.
I pulled out the ibuprofen and the *egads* baby OraGel. I don’t even know why I still had a tube up there. That stuff is HORRIBLE. If the ingredients don’t do it for you, have you ever put it on your own tongue? It stings and it tastes like crap. Plus, it can actually toughen the gums, making the cutting process harder. I tried to find proof of it, but I’m not searching to hard. This other lady said it, as did quite a few other mothers, plus my pediatrician told me to use it sparingly for that reason. Christiano threw a total and complete dropping to the ground tantrum after I put it on his gums but he calmed down in a few minutes. At least it let me make supper. Twice in his lifetime is sparingly right?
I placed an order for the Chamomilla last night. I was tempted to overnight it but Pato would have had a heart attack. I wish our local stores sold more than just their teething tablets. Life would have been much happier.
Alright, I’ve got stuff to get done this morning before I can do anything else fun, so you have a great day!
