Zoo Up

Last week, DeAnna and I took our girls (plus the baby in her belly, which has since been determined to be a boy) on this train that goes from the rose gardens at Washington Park up to the zoo.  I know there was a train, I've taken it at zoo lights, but I guess I didn't know where it went or how to find it.  So, she found it, we saw elephants and giraffes, we saw two tomato frogs where there used to be three ("maybe one of them died" Scarlett said), the girls *mostly* did a good job sharing the zoo key necklace.

Then, at the end, they ran around this playground at the rose garden. I was telling Charlie about it after- it's such a cool playground, big, tons of slides, stuff to hide under, etc etc.  He said, yes Emily, you've been there before, we had our wedding engagement photos taken at that park.  But in my defense, that was like 8 years and many partially-awake nights ago.

But it prompted me to look for an old picture.  This is the farthest back our documented photos go- here's a throwback to us with Hope, age 4 weeks old.
