Even though Charlie’s feet were quite cold last week while touring the Winter Wonderland at Southwick Zoo – Crocs with no socks will do that in December – fear not, dear friends.
Elysha, the kids, and I still had great fun.
Some of my more empathetic friends and readers wrote to ask if our winter adventure had been ruined for Charlie and his hypothermic toes.
I assure you that despite his chilly feet, we had a grand old time.
Charlie and I have always found enormous joy in small things.
Like jamming your head into the head of a plastic lion and screaming for help.
Or telling the Grinch that he’s “a creepy old dude.”
Or touching the butt of an illuminated red-butted baboon.
It really is the little things that bring us so much joy.
