I logged about 14,000 steps today and most of those were with a little kid on my shoulders. It was in service of making sure she got to see all the zoo animals that she wanted to.
The difference between it being a good day and a miserable one pretty much did just come down to my attitude about that physical exertion.
This reminds me of carrying my daughter on my shoulders through the ruins of Pompeii. I didn't get much out of the experience, but I'll never forget my daughter checking out all the stray dogs and saying "Daddy, the dogs were lucky they weren't killed by the volcano "

Hahaha that's a great story. Much better than if you had slowly walked through and checked out some ruins.

All those squat paying off for you.
I haven't taken my youngest to the zoo yet. We have gone to a ranch with a petting zoo which she loved but I have to bring her to the Toronto Zoo in the summer.
