Zoo date

On Boxing Day, we packed the girls up in the car and headed to the Oakland zoo, even though as were were leaving our home it was pouring rain. The girls had been crazy leading up to that moment - the consequence of Christmas I guess and there was no way I was going to spend the morning with them in our apartment. So we pushed forward, and made it to the zoo at opening time. We had a little bit of rain and it was nippy (it's been a cold winter!), but we had the best time. We went up and down all the hills and saw all the animals at least once. We rode the skyride (special treat) and were able to see the lions perfectly. We ended our trip with lunch in the empty outdoor theater and our own family's performances. It was a beautiful day.
