I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

How about you, you, you?

Since we were in the neighborhood, we enjoyed the beautiful day by going to the Jacksonville Zoo.

At first I was surprised that the zoo cost about twice as much as the New England Zoos.  But it turns out that the Jacksonville Zoo is about a hundred times better than ours, so it was worth it.

We started out with Squiggles in a stroller,

But she found this degrading and demanded to walk like a dignified human.

And eventually decided that she was big enough to be in charge of the stroller.

We saw lots of animals,

Relaxed a bit,

And took a ride on a red “choo choo.”

But the biggest hit of the day was the splash park.  We didn’t pack a swimsuit, so we let Squiggles run around in her onsie. She was in heaven.

We had one tired girl at the end of the day.

I thought Squiggles was on a live turtle! Zoos are the best. You sure had a nice trip.
