Zoo visit

Ela loves going to the zoo, but Mama doesn't go that often because, frankly, Mama gets hopelessly lost every time she goes, and everyone's a cranky, hungry, overstimulated mess by the time they stagger into the front door seven hours later.

But! Mama's old friend Michelle offered to share some passes with us, and because she and her son, Liam, go all the time, she knows *exactly* where she is and how to get to the exits!  We had a great time visiting with them and seeing the flamingoes, lions, wolves, bats, and everything else. We're looking forward to joining them again!
