300th Post, Over 10,000 Hits And The Zoo

Well----this is my 300th post. Who knew I would ever keep this up?! All I can say is that blogging is AWESOME!! Also--I added a stat counter to my blog in November. I did it just to see what was going on my blog. And to my amazement I have had over 10,000 hits in only 6 months. When I saw the number I was honestly so humbled. I never would have thought that anyone would be interested in what I have to post about, and well, basically, just me in general.

Finally, I went to the Zoo with O and H and H's Kindergarten class. When we got to the school there were so many parents!! I actually only had to be in charge of H, O, and one other girl. H was so upset that her friend S's parents and little sisters came too. H wanted to be at the Zoo with S. Come to find out I knew S's mom from my single days--so--we all just hung out together. The girls were thrilled. It was great to spend the day with just the girl's--oh and poor S's dad. He was surrounded!! We had a great time!!

The pictures at the zoo are so cute. I need to get my kids to a zoo soon. It's been WAY too long since they have seen any animals besides dogs in real life.

Christa said...

I too would hate to see how I would measure up to the gorilla. I'm afraid I would fill in that entire space. ☺

Happy 300th post! Your blog is great, Jillene. Everyone likes to come because you are real and you have wonderful children and you aren't afraid to post an angry post. :) Oh, and make fun of yo gabba gabba. That was great, too.

I want to go on an African Safari!! I have never been to a Zoo... Jaren said that's as close as I'm going to get because he doesn't want to be eaten by a lion. I say chicken.

The zoo is so, so much fun! We went last week, too. And I would be scared to see how I measure up against that gorilla... I mean, what if I was bigger? Ack!
