Try as I might, I just couldn't get into the Thanksgiving spirit. (Neither could Desmond. He could care less about Thanksgiving right now!) So, we decided as a family that we would do something crazy, something unheard of. We would do something....untraditional!
We decided to go to the zoo!
Husband had been feeling a bit overwhelmed at school. I had been feeling the stress of feeling like a single mother because of all the hours Husband had been putting into his work. The best solution was to just get out of town, even if it was for one night.
So that's exactly what we did! Off to Houston we went! We stayed at the Galleria (the BIG mall, as Dez calls it) to get in a little shopping before the crazy Black Friday people. And the next day, Thanksgiving, was spent admiring all the animals at the zoo.
I forgot how big the Houston Zoo is! Dez had such a good time, and Gabe and I had an even better time watching his excitement. Dax, of course, was absolutely pleasant and tolerated our long day trip well.

I consented to the petting zoo. You can bet the hand sanitizer came out pretty quick!

Very thankful to have a wonderful husband and two healthy and happy boys!
It was exactly what everyone in our family needed. We even got home in time to make us a plate of leftover turkey, dressing, and pie!
Happy Thanksgiving!
