Tuesday was ”Zoo day.”
It was thoroughly enjoyable with my daughter and granddaughter, looking through the lens of each age. It brought back memories of attending years ago with both of my children, and the visit culminating in running through the gift shop post-animal viewing as they examined everything within reach.
Among the stuffed animals on display then and now were colorful snakes. I remember the young ones being enamored with them, and I, promising to sew them snakes when we got home.
I sewed snakes. How easy? Two extra long pieces of fleece, stuffed, with button eyes. The kids stood by me and watched as I churned out three-foot long snakes for them. One of those reptiles is still slithering around somewhere.
Those 4-H sewing skills still come in handy. No snakes this visit, but I did just complete an octopus costume!
