A Day Away From the Office

Today a couple of girlfriends and I took our kiddos to the zoo. We were there from 11 to 3 with a 3 year old (Emma), a 2 year old (Claire), a 1 year old (Luke), and a 3 month old (Audrey), and they did unbelievably well! With the exception of one smashed forehead, there were absolutely no incidences, despite the obvious lack of nap time. The weather was actually perfect- cloudy and cool. Luke wasn't overwhelmingly thrilled with the animals...
Or with taking pictures with me...

But after a fantastic lunch of chicken nuggets, fries, ketchup and a $2.50 Dr. Pepper (okay, that was just me, he had water) we did find something that totally made his day...


Only the biggest wheel he has ever seen! And just to prove that we were there with other people...

Here is photographic evidence of Emma, Claire, and Sara (who apparently is the only one who smiles for pictures). We were POOPED when we got home, but I'm so glad we got to go. We learned so much. You know, like some times older people go to the zoo to make out. And either not many people had off of work or we were the only ones silly enough to go to day becasue there was NO ONE there. Also that hippos are very dangerous and there is such a thing as a less flamingo. I did get a video of the lion roaring, which is pretty cool. He was either roaring or coughing up a hair ball. Could go either way. And now...

I'm off!

Sounds like a great day. We went for our anniversary in the summer and had so much fun.
