A visit to our local zoo, paid for by...


...all of you! Entry is free to the National Zoo in DC. (Thank you, taxpayers.) And we brought our own lunch so as to avoid paying $17.50 (or so) for a plate of reheated chicken strips. Yet somehow I managed to spend about $100 on myself and four kids. Yikes! So much for a cheap field trip! The kids all bought souvenirs. And drinks. And ice cream for the girls. And parking was $20! (Though really I'm just glad we got a parking spot at all, since the lots fill up super-quick.) Cost aside, it was a great day at the zoo!

In case Evan starts thinking he's a big shot...

... big sister Meghan is there to put him in his place!

This kind of action...


... leads to this kind of inaction. :D
