The Zoo

So CO and I took the granddaughter to the San Diego Zoo this weekend. A belated 3rd birthday present.

We drove the hour and a half to the zoo. We bought her an annual pass, a churo, cotton candy, a t-shirt and stuffed animal. We put .51 cents into one of those machines that flattens your penny, and imprints it with an animal's likeness. We schlepped around to all the cages, ooohing and ahhhing, and holding her up for the best possible view. We took her on the arial tram, despite our collective discomfort with heights. Then, after everyone was worn out, we headed back to the car for the return trip home.

At this point I stupidly asked her if she had fun, to which she answered, "No, not really."

Tough crowd.
