field trips...

The tribe had been getting on my very last nerve so I decided we needed a "field trip" and it needed to be a cheap one! So I wracked my brain to think of something fun a two year old would enjoy and then it came to me, Animals! They LOVE animals especially the ones that they could touch & actually pet. So there I was searching the phone book for a nearby pet store. I know, a parent of a toddler should already know where one of these are located. But remember we do not have a dog or a cat so I really don't frequent them! We invited Grandma to go along with us. She loves animals just does NOT want one to take home! LOL! After getting everyone loaded up in the 'burb we headed off to our local pet store, Pet Supermarket. It is SO close to Grandma's house I could walk there. OK I may not want to walk there but I could! We decided to go inside stroller less. This was going to be an "adventure", one where they would probably be getting into MANY things! But why not? Let them enjoy themselves! As soon as we walked through the door we caught everyone's eye. I cannot tell you how helpful every employee was! They brought out each & every "friendly" animal for the tribe to get an up close & personal view of. They were feeling on bunnies, parakeets & even fed some fish! They were in heaven! (= To our dismay they do not have any puppies, don't even sell them! Darn! )= Linz LOVES puppies! Overall the tribe had a blast! Their eyes were BIG in amazement when they got to hold a bunny! I was just glad that they were too young & over the moon in excitement to ask to take one home! Michael & I keep saying that eventually we will get a dog but I am no where near able to care for a dog PLUS the tribe! Maybe in a few years, but for now we will just have our...
