One July day while Dave was helping Jeff cut grass, the kids and I went to the zoo.
It was pretty hot but we found ways to stay cool...and they got to feed the giraffes.
Lucy loves giraffes so much but for some reason, is often too scared to feed them. Max isn't much for fear, though, so since he was doing it, Lucy did it.
They creeped on the meerkats and visited with Fiona before we ate lunch, took a train ride and stalked a goat who was probably trying to hide...
We hung out in the Children's Zoo for a bit and then we passed by the Wings of Wonder and noticed a bird show was starting soon. Lucy really wanted to watch so we were hanging around. I actually overheard someone mention rain and I thought they were crazy - it was a beautiful day!
I talked to my mom on the phone while we were waiting for the bird show to begin and she said it had just started pouring in downtown Cincinnati...I told her she'd better not have jinxed us...and then all of a sudden it started to rain SO HARD!
They made an announcement that the bird show was cancelled - and Lucy was so upset! We were completely soaked-through drenched at this point but all she cared about was missing the bird show...
We'd dashed from the open-air theater to the Manatee Springs (and indoor area) but the damage was done. We hung out in there for a bit until the rain stopped (about a half an hour) and then went back outside to dry off.
Fun day!
