The rain stayed away and we were able to go to the zoo! Thank goodness the weatherman is wrong 99.9% of the time!
Instead of boring you with my rambling on and on about the fun times we had, I’ll illustrate our fun time with a boat load of pictures…

Ace cruising in his wagon on the way into the Zoo.

The elephants showing their best sides.

Momma and Ace enjoying a train ride!

Not real sure what this is, but it looked cool! 

Ace giving his Momma some lovin’

Ace at the playground…”What to play on next?”

A Mexican Wolf

The zoo sure does work up a big thirst!

Crocodiles are just soooo cooool!

Dad and Ace petting a mini goat, “Don’t pull on his ears!”

What’s in that bottle?

A Bison and some kind of horned animals

Momma chasing Ace through the petting zoo

This Bobcat is catching some rays.

That tongue again!

Pink flamingos!

Cheesin’ it up for the camera!

The zoo must not be as fun for the monkeys…

All tuckered out.. 

The ride back to the car… Zzzzzzz
There will be more pictures coming soon! Sunday we are going to COSI and the camera is going to get another workout! Don’t miss it!

Looking Forward Back when I was a just a little guy, I remember looking forward to playing outside, going swimming, ice cream, and getting up in the morning to start a whole brand new day!
As I got a bit older and started school, I remember looking forward to going to school, recess, show-and-tell, and playing after school.
About the time I was in junior high, I remember looking forward to the weekend, summer vacation, snow days, and hanging out with friends.
In high school I looked forward to the weekend party, skiing, a bit of underage drinking, and whatever little bit of mischievous mayhem we could find.
College brought on looking forward to the weekend (and week night) party, legal drinking, girls, girls, girls, and more girls.
After graduating college and getting married I looked forward to doing well in my field of work, getting promoted, hanging out with our friends, a bit less drinking, and only one girl.
Now that I am a Dad, I find myself looking forward to something i have never…ever…looked forward too…

Nap Time
or even better…
