Zoo trip...

Well Friday was a family day...we went to the Zoo in Tacoma, almost free...complements of the local library.  It was fun and we all had a good time.  This was Emma's first trip that she actually might remember.



We started the day headed to the In-laws to drop off our four legged furry kid for Grandma to babysit.  We really couldn't leave him miserable in the kennel while we were off having fun.  Then we headed toward Tacoma...5 mins after hitting the road we heard the inevitable...are we there yet?  As well as, "How much longer?" we found stuff for the kids to do and all was quiet then.

We got to the Zoo and spent three hours wandering around.  Halfway through Daddy ended up carrying Emma most of the way lol...



We also managed to catch "Harold's Exellent Adventure!" and then caught a carousel ride before heading out.  Our favorite part was the Clouded Leopard Cubs though!  Absolutely worth the 20 min line to see them. 


Finally we headed back to the In-Laws for a wonderful dinner before heading home.  We most always enjoy our time there with the Parents and Nelson's Grandmother.  On the way home things got exciting...about half way home the car started to shimmy really bad...and then a series of rapid, loud thunks...we had thrown the tread to the tire.  Thank GOD it stayed filled and didn't blow out, God had his angels watching over us.  We pulled to the side of the road, and Hubby took care of it and half an hour later we were finally headed home again...all in all a fun and exciting day to be had for all!
