Team Ostler: L. A. Zoo

L. A. Zoo

Last week was Jim's spring break. However, it wasn't much of a break because he was on campus writing a paper 4 out of the 5 days. We decided that we definitely needed a family day to do something fun together at least one of those days so we went to the zoo. It was so much fun and the kids loved it. I really like the L. A. Zoo because they had so many cool and different animals that I had never heard of. When we were observing the monkeys I couldn't believe how much they resembled my kids - not in appearance, of course, only in behavior. Who needs to go to the zoo when you have your own at home, right!

The giraffes were pretty fun to watch. We got to see them really close up and there was one giraffe who was trying so hard to get the leaves from the tree. He needed to be just a few inches taller, but he managed to get a couple leaves by stretching his tongue really far. I didn't realize how long their tongues were! It was entertaining to watch him for a while, but I felt really bad for him when he couldn't reach.

Funny Things Kids Say

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
