We went to the Zoo Saturday and dragged Papa and Ted with us.
It happened to be the Zoo from the TV show. They also happened to have free face painting and games and a firetruck at the zoo for a volunteer event.
It was a trip meant to be.
When I told Dorathea she could have her face painted she said, "I want purple and pink spots". Trying to avoid the getting over chicken-pox look I said, "How about a pink and purple kitty?".
The wagon was a bigger hit that the tigers or lions for the kids
but we enjoyed learning about the histories of each animal, and how many were rescued from abusive owners (even the lions!).
After the Zoo Papa was itching to show us his favorite drug store complete with soda fountain and lunch counter. "The juke box is free!" he boasted, "and the coffee costs 10 cents!" We were game, so we lunched on chicken salad and sipped cokes.
We ended with ice cream and enjoyed a good long stay at the drug store talking and laughing.

The ten cent coffee was worth about ten cents, but Jonathan napped in his stroller.
