A WARM December night

Record-high temperatures this one day in December so we did what (apparently) everyone else in Cincinnati decided to do: We grabbed our Buy One Get One Free coupons and headed to the Festival of Lights at the Zoo. It was a madhouse. People everywhere.


Clearly, it was safest to ride on some shoulders.






Sarah and Charlotte each got their own Gingerbread Man to eat. As always, Charlotte called them "Gingerbread Ladies." (That's what she calls them when we play Candy Land.)

Night time at the zoo is mostly just walking around looking at lights. The girls wanted desperately to ride the train, so we merrily stood in line for AN HOUR to take a 7-minute train ride in the dark. We did see a Zebra. And lots of ducks. And a few plastic penguins.


Charlotte looked so cute with her jacket tied around her waist.

As we were leaving the zoo, Sarah broke free from me and ran to a person in a Penguin costume and said, "Hi Penguin!" and got a big hug. It was soooo cute.

After the zoo, we headed over to Graeter's for ice cream, which we ate out outside. In December.


Sarah ordered "Pink!" ice cream. I think her new book "Pinkalicious" is rubbing off on her.
