Cold but still fun!

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.
