I felt like we spent Spring Break at the Zoo. The first day, we had warm weather and even hit 55 degrees as my memory serves me. It was great walking the zoo with the kids and no coats.
Two days later we went back for the Egg Day events (can't call it Easter anymore!). Kyle wouldn't leave the band alone until they created a rendition of "Take me Out to the Ball Game." I think they drew a crowd with that one, so it was a hit for more than just our family.
Eric took Katrina and Kyle closer to the bunny and his friends as the crowds were gathering for the parade. Somehow in the course of crossing the masses, Kyle got disconnected from the rest of us. What I thought was Kyle thinking he knew where he was going ended up being 30 minutes with Eric and Katrina riding with the Sheriff's deputy, an all hands lookout and mom pushing a stroller looking in every building from point A to point B. Eventually the call came out on the radio about a scared little boy. Kyle sat down on a curb and started crying. A lady and her teenaged son/grandson found him. She felt so bad she bought him a stuffed animal at the gift shop.
The last day of spring break, Kyle stayed with a family in the ward for the day and took yet another trip to the zoo. I guess being lost didn't traumatize him forever.
