Zoo times Deux

(I'm not going to consider this entry overdue even though the events contained within this entry occurred on Tuesday, but that was still this week so I think that counts as being in due time.)

On Tuesday this week, we spent the day at the zoo. Two zoos actually. First up was Olgebay Good Zoo in Wheeling. We were there earlier this summer and didn't get to hit up the whole thing. So we went back for round two. I still don't think that we hit up the whole thing. It isn't a very big zoo but there are lots of distractions... like train layouts and hungry stomachs and a train ride. The kids and I went to the zoo with my mom, niece, and nephew.


We got to see an ostrich scare away a groundhog that was eating her food

and I got to have a lorikeet sit on my arm.


We came home and the kids took a nap. We had some dinner then went to pick Greg up at work so we could head to the zoo member night at The Pittsburgh Zoo. We decided to try to avoid the crowd by walking the zoo backwards. It worked out great but we still ran out of time to ride the train. Will had a meltdown about halfway through which was likely a result of too much fun in one day and not eating his dinner. A little bit of popcorn and a ride in the stroller, ten minutes later he was ready to smile with the gorillas.
