He was being held by Mandy our Zoo Snooze leader. She's Joe Manchester and Meg Ryan's love child. I was a little more scared of her than the gator. One of those people you really want to like you and you end up saying something dumb in front of and figure they think you're an idiot and then you avoid the rest of the many times you are around them...
OK, enough of my insecurities. I had a fabulous time. Seriously. We camped under the stars to the sound of monkeys-
I had two "unforgetable's":
One, Riley made my heart get that feeling like i can't get anymore happy when he wanted to hold my hand the entire length of the zoo last night because he just wanted me near. I miss that just being a given with my boys.
Second, the ride home with just the girls in the van. James Blunt's "beautiful" and Anna Nalik's "2 am" blaring from my speakers with the windows down. I think heaven will involve wind. I am so filled by wind and sound. Thank you God for a surprisingly amazing time. I am blessed and am anxious to walk with these kids as they grow up in the youth group.

Meg Ryan and Joe Manchester???
thanks for the wind and heaven analogy. music going, windows down, wind blowin...it's pretty bliss.
glad you made it back.
love ya
btw - sadie is such a cutie - i'm glad her and JKM are such buddies...they acted like sisters today!
i hope that acting like sisters means that they were so sweet together. because being the sister over here means a lot of screaming and fighting...:)
thanks for keeping her, she loves you guys!
i'll explain joe and meg later and amy, i agree- hopefully soon-
ok everybody- She had blonde hair and her mouth curled up like meg ryans but she was built like joe. maybe a little TALLER.
she actually favored Tressa Delano in the face a little-
She scared me is all i know, she knew a whole lot about the animals and she had a nice enough prescence about her, helpful you know...but she could have beat the crap out of me if she wanted to.
and i kept my sleeping bag far away from her-
Sounds to me like you might have a little crush on her....
i knew someone's mind would go there- ahem...
no, you guys asked about her so i just explained my thoughts.
Please tell me mr. bc that some men don't intregue you?
