Our trip to the Zoo?

Last Tuesday I was to meet Jonah's Mom and Sister at the Zoo...I knew we were in trouble when it took 30 minutes to get from the exit to the entrance of the zoo. I was directed to "overflow" parking a few miles away. When I pulled into the lot, there was a line a few HUNDRED people deep to get on the shuttle buses (old school buses). It was already 80 degrees outside and there was no way my girls (or me) would survive waiting for the shuttle. After a family conference, we decided to head to the swimming area at Silver Creek Falls. We visited Jonah at work and then headed back south for swimming fun. The girls had their first snow cones and were satisfied even though we didn't see the "ellies" or "ooh ooh ahh ahh's".
