"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

Funny Day at the Zoo

Ellie has many interesting things to say when it comes to the zoo:

While looking at the cougars:

"Come on, Dad. Let's go find some animals that aren't sleeping."

While holding hands with Mom:

"Mom, you're too heavy. I'm going to go find someone else to walk with.

Looking at the gorillas:

"Let's go inside the glass."

When driving to get ice cream:

E - "I want a sticky." (i.e. granola bar)
Mom - "We don't get two treats. You can have ice cream or a sticky, you pick." (I thought this would be easy.)
E - "I want a sticky."
Mom - "Oh... well, we're having ice cream."

When driving home:

E - "I want to go to Grandma Maga's."
Mom and Dad - "No, we chose to go to the zoo and to get ice cream today."
E - "No, YOU chose."

What can we say? She's pretty cute.
