A trip to the Zoo

Friday was a perfect day in Cincinnati, sunny and 70 degrees. You couldn't ask for a better day to head to the zoo. So we did just that and so did about 1000 other people. We almost scrapped the trip after sitting in traffic for well over 30 minutes to go less than two blocks. Actually, I did scrap the trip. But I was going around the block, pass the traffic and I accidentally fell upon the old zoo entrance and there were no cars in line. So, I zipped in, parked right in the front and hauled the girls inside.

This was a big deal for me since I was braving the zoo all on my own, without an extra set of hands. You might think that's not a big deal, but you have to remember that Amelia isn't walking yet and most places aren't big enough for a double wide stroller to fit into, including the eating establishments. But we did o.k. I was rather proud of myself.

The girls were great, the flowers were in full bloom and we had a grand time. Until....the train ride and everything went down hill in a hurry. Fortunately for Amelia, we left right after that so she wasn't too tramatized.

I got some o.k. pictures of the girls sitting around the flower gardens. It was so sunny that I couldn't get them to look at the camera too much.
