Lions, and Tigers, and Bears, oh My!

Today was the first weekend day without rain in, well, too long to count.  So we, and everyone else in the tri-state, packed up and headed to the Zoo!  It was Natalie's first trip, and one of the rare times all three of us have been out together for an extended period of time.

Natalie did great.  It was chilly to start the day, and warmed up more than we expected by the time we left.  It ended up being really crowded, but Natalie coped with all that very well.  She even tolerated her stroller nearly all day.

Enjoy some of our favorite pictures from the day...
