The forecaster predicted sunny skies and temperatures above 20 degrees. I figured we'd seize the day. (After all, they're predicting snow for Thursday. Say it ain't so!) I guess I wasn't the only mom with the same idea...
The zoo was crazy this morning. Totally packed. It's a Tuesday morning and school is in session, so I figured things would be relatively quiet. Boy, was I wrong! I can't remember the last time I've seen the zoo so busy.
The kids had a blast, nonetheless. I let the boys run and run and run and run, hoping for a long nap this afternoon. (So far that seems to be working!) The weather was actually rather cool and cloudy. We visited the hippos (who were literally snoring), giraffes, lions, monkeys and gorillas. We ate a nice picnic lunch as well. I love our zoo pass because we can stop for a quick visit and leave when the kids get tired. Usually, a two hour trip is about perfect.
Now I'm looking forward to a quiet afternoon and evening. I think I'll spend some time praying for the snow to pass us by...

Oh how FUN! I remember our zoo trip with you! Yes, please pray that snow away! I already put our shovel away!! Our zoo pass just expired. We made a choice this year to get Heritage Park passess with rides. Then next year back to the zoo. Just to keep it mixed up a bit. Glad you guys had a fun day!
Ben's parents gave us Heritage Park passes for Christmas. Wendy, we can still get out together this year too!
WOOO HOOO!!
