A trip to the zoo...

Yesterday I had a wonderful day at the zoo with the girls - and my girlfriend and her baby from Cincinnati. I've not seen my friend in a few years - and never met her beautiful little girl. We decided to meet at the zoo and walk around for a few hours ... and we had a blast!!

The girls especially loved the monkeys and lion house. I think that is because they had the best views of those animals. They made lots of monkey noises and roars!! They do need some more education though. The kept calling every animal with 4 legs a dog. I must have said, no, that's not a dog, it is a giraffe, zebra... about fifteen times. It was very funny. We chose to relax for about 45 minutes in a large shady park where there was a large flock of geese about 100 yards away. Soon the geese all came over to us - and I mean they were just feet from us. Erin kept saying "no birdies". She was not fond of them being so close. When I have a photo I will post it.

Anyway, we had the best time. It was so nice to catch up with my friend. It is amazing that distance has separated us for nearly 10 years, but when it matters we are still very close friends and we can just pick up where we left off. I am lucky to have her in my life.
