Awesome weather!

The past two days have been fantastic weather wise. John had off school on Tuesday due to the teachers having an in-service day. So with the weather being super warm we headed off to the zoo! The Cleveland Zoo has just begun a major remodeling stage for their elephants plus there is a bridge that goes over the zoo that ODOT has torn down and are now in the process of rebuilding. They must be getting closer to finishing the bridge because you can no longer walk to one section of the zoo - you have to take their tram service. The zoo and ODOT planned for this closure because they knew the attendance would be down with the colder weather. I was bummed because this is my favorite part of the zoo as it houses the wolves, bears and sea lions. The tram that was going to this area was very small - maybe 3 rows for people to sit in with no other cars attached. Normally their trams have 3 cars attached to the main car tram. With the double stroller I wasn't going to wait or inconveince a lot of people. So we took another tram up to see the monkeys and fish and their play area. After we spent time up there we walked back down the big hill to see the giraffes and rhinos. After that the kids were pretty much toast so we headed home. After what seemed like an abbreviated nap time, we hung outside again and had a late dinner. I am happy the next few days will be nice!

James said to Matt on Sunday - knock knock - who's there - James - James who? - James Keough loves you! TOO cute!
