But don't forget the reason we have a zoo membership ...

 ZOOOOOO-Lights 2012.

I look like my mom, Talmage has a long tongue, Sydney is not in a bjorn, Sonya is like, "How'd I get roped into this?"  Clara is all like, "Hey! This stroller is broken." (we threw the stroller in the trash on our way out of the zoo.  Didn't even TRY to recycle it.  Piece of $2 junk).

 The kids played around with the drums in Africa and climbed all over these animal sculptures.  I was impressed that we dissuaded them from the loooooooooooooooooong line for the Zoo Train without much protest.   I gave myself a thrifty pat on the back when I heard from co-workers, later, that the train ride was not worth the wait.

 What in the heck with this picture????  It kind of looks like something is blasting out of the stroller ("Miiiiiiles!!!!!!").
