The Zoo

The oldest zoo in the country, to be exact. The Philadelphia Zoo was the first zoo in America, and yesterday we had the pleasure of partaking in its splendid offerings. It was partly sunny and 60 degrees, so it was beyond enjoyable to be outside for a change. We walked around. We saw the animals and sights. We cast shadows. We crawled on benches (well, Finnley did). We ate lunch outside! We discovered new wonders (Finnley's favorite attraction? The Bobcat. Not the animal, but the machine that was moving snow. Sigh.). We loved every second of it, and we left plastered with smiles but also aching for Spring and more days that can't help but draw you out. Soon enough, hopefully, and then we can be "done" with colds for awhile and spend some much anticipated and needed time doing ANYTHING that is not contained by four walls and a roof. Soon. Hopefully. Soon...
