Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2003. I took Mattie to the Reston, VA petting zoo and he absolutely loved the experience. Mattie always related to animals and as you can see he was intrigued by the sheep and put his little hand right through the fence to touch the fleece. The beauty of the Reston Zoo is that it is small, manageable, and not crowded. Mattie did not like crowds or a lot of noise as toddler therefore this was the perfect zoo for him. We visited it often and Mattie enjoyed feeding the animals, riding the ponies, and even taking tractor rides around the zoo.
Quote of the day: The brick walls are there for a reason. The brick walls are not there to keep us out. The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don’t want it badly enough. They’re there to stop the other people. ~ Randy Pausch
It is 11:30pm and I am literally staring at the blog screen trying to muster the energy to write something. It was another busy day of running around as the Foundation's walk is approaching fast. It maybe the weekend, but for us it will be another intense two days of working! I appreciate you checking in with us today and hopefully tomorrow I will have more energy to write.
