Good Friday was an absolutely gorgeous day this year. It felt more like summer, with temperatures about 80 degrees and sunny, blue skies. We took advantage of it and went to the zoo for the first time this year. I had the idea of riding our bikes there instead of driving, and boy am I glad we did! The line of cars going to the zoo was insane; it wrapped around First Ave. with no end in sight. We just biked right up to the entrance with no problems, and Anna had a great time riding with me, thank goodness! We couldn't take the stroller with us on the bikes, so we rented one of their dolphin strollers. Anna LOVED it! I don't know if it was the dolphin itself that she loved or if it was the way the stroller let her see everything around her, but she got a kick out of it. We looked around at as much as we could, but it was so crowded that it limited what we could do. The line for the children's zoo was really long, so we had to skip that, the bears were off exhibit because of their new home (great bear wilderness) not being open yet, the dolphins are still gone, and I wanted to stay outside as much as possible. We let Anna run around a bit too after riding around in the stroller for a while. Everyone was very excited about this dolphin stroller, like they had never seen one before or something (one kid even exclaimed, "Look! It's a whale wagon!" We loved it). After we had stayed a few hours and Anna had taken a little nap, we decided to head home. The joys of having a zoo membership; it didn't matter that we missed out on a lot - we can just come back another day! Squirt completely passed out right around 8:00 or so, which is usually the indicator of a really great day!
