What Forty Looks Like

Here's what I am: 40. Here's when it
happened: yesterday. Here's what I did: went to the zoo. Here's what I had: fun. 

Last summer, we bought a membership to the Columbus Zoo, and we made good use of it. We visited several zoos within driving distance, including the Columbus Zoo. Problem was, it was Africa hot on the day we went, so we were only able to enjoy 1/3 of the zoo before we were forced to the comfort of our hotel room. 

That's cool, though, because we didn't know at that time that we'd be welcoming Rejoice into our lives. I thought it would be a great idea to go to the zoo for Sweetheart's and my birthdays, which are within days of each other, because we could show the zoo to Rejoice. Just a few days before we were going to go, before we had told Rejoice that we were going, we played an after-dinner game of I Never, a game where you try to earn tokens, pennies or pieces of candy by having never done some thing your opponents have done. It was then that Rejoice shared with us, before he knew of our plan, that he had never been to a zoo! 

So we took the day to go to the zoo. Here, for your enjoyment, are some of the photos.
