Walking the Wall

We took the kids to the zoo today, which is, in and of itself not really new as we’ve gone a few times this year, but this picture
got me thinking about those moments when you look at something, and
then like a skipping stone you bounce back from memory to memory–all
interconnected. While standing and waiting to take a picture of the
kids on these turtles, it reminded me of an almost identical picture I
have of my two kids on these same turtles when my daughter was around 2
and my son was 5. They loved these bronze turtles and even now, 10
years later, they see them and make a beeline insisting that we need
another picture! When I was a little girl at this same zoo, there was a
live tortoise
that my brother and I would ride on (this picture is from the Toledo
Blade, its not my brother and I) and was always the highlight of any
zoo visit.

Just a random memory.
