Zoo!

 

It was free day for edumacators today at Zoo Atlanta. Mom took the kids and me to the airport to pick up the VW from where Lee left it before leaving for Phoenix and LA. It was supposed to rain today, but it managed to hold off long enough for us to do pretty much the entire zoo. The elephant "horrned" while we were eating at the Nathan's hot dog stand next to the elephant house. I don't guess I've ever heard an elephant "horrn" in person (Hutch's word, by the way!) - it was SOOOO LOUD! We had a delightful time seeing the animals and riding the kiddie train. The lightning and thunder eventually drove us out of the park and to the car (which I parked, inadvertantly, a million miles away AND up freakin' Mt. Everest).

Maggie's eyes were shut before I clipped her seatbelt and Hutch was asleep shortly after. Maggie crashed early this evening too - still hung over from the busy day I suppose.

On another note, Hutch has "a little pneumonia" in his left lung. He's on a super strong antibiotic and occasionally sounds as if he's coughing up that left lung. He looked totally washed out as we cruised through the zoo, but had a happy helpful attitude and didn't really want to leave.
