I Hope This Doesn't Ruin My Little Pony For Her...

In family news Sunday for us is "family day"... I mean really everyday is family day but more so it's take Heidi to the park day.She had a blast as always and she loves the swings.We're delighted that they opened up a zoo there too and it's free!It's tiny but it has a good variety of animals and things to do,plus did I mention its free?!

One of the features is a petting zoo with goats and ponies.We opted NOT to let Heidi in there this time and instead she seemed content petting one of the ponies through the fence...until she stopped and started paying attention to another pony that had walked up and pony number 1 bit her!It didn't break the skin but it gave her an instant bruise you could see under the teeth marks on her arm.Poor dear!She of course sobbed and kept repeating over and over "bad horse it bit me!Why?!"

I am proud of my hubby he controlled his overprotectiveness and didn't punch the pony.I know the thought seems silly but he told me right as we were walking away he had thought about it and then decided such a thing would probably be frowned upon and he didn't want Heidi to end up banned for life from the zoo because her Papa once punched a pony,hahaha!I do feel that in the future any boy unfortunate enough to foolishly break our daughters heart won't ever fair so lucky as that pony.

We took her to the gift shop afterwards where she fell in love with a penguin and declared "Happy Feet!" (which we had just watched this morning).My husband told me to take her outside and he'd meet us out there.I took her over to the fountain and a few minutes later out Papa arrived the hero with a penguin for her.$3.48 to buy your child some happiness and sort of make up for when ponies attack is priceless.

Short Lived But Fun...

So the show last night was fun.Jess and I always have good conversation and I only get to see her every few months but we made plans to just hang out tomorrow so that should be a good time too,plus Heidi LOVES her so it'll be a treat for her.I dont know what I was thinking but I wore my stockings without garters and spent most of the night trying to keep them up,I also wore my ballet flats and since I am a mere 5 foot tall I felt uber small next to Jess since she is oh I think like 5 foot and about 9 or 10 icnhes tall and was wearing her tallest heels!*Note to self always wear heels around Jess,haha!

Now Im not sure how many people out there have seen the performer Bob Wayne but he opened for Wayne Hancock and I have to say I was not a fan.Musically it was good twangy dirty south rock but lyrically I was not impressed.Too much cussing and drug related songs....maybe Im a fuddy-duddy I dont know,I justify it my just saying Im an old soul,these kids today with their music I tell ya!*Shakes fist in the air*


I sadly only got to see Wayne Hancock play 3 songs but it was better than nothing.Jess was a sweetheart and opted to run be home and its as though the Gods were smiling on us cause as we were leaving their amp blew so they had to fix that,I figured that bought some time for her to get back and she wouldnt miss any music so I didnt feel as bad.



She dropped me off quickly and I dashed up the stairs as fast as I could so my husband wouldnt stress about me being late (I showed up with 5 minutes to spare before he had to leave for work *whew*).And even though Wayne plays a long and wonderful I didnt mind too much having to miss the majority of it cause I got to come home to this waiting for me:
