The Zoo-Check

I don't think we are quite going to make it through our Fall Bucket List.  But, still impressed that we got most of them done even with me having a bum ankle for most of the season.  A trip to the zoo was on the list, so we decided Black Friday would be a good day to go.  And it was, until my wheelchair tried to break. 

 

There are three main sections to the zoo.  The Bog, Africa, and the Arctic.  We were just about to enter the bog when we realized the right, front wheel was sticking against the back wheel.  Sure enough that super handicap friendly sidewalk (sarcasm) where hubby almost dumped me had bent the wheel.  It was working ok, but didn't seem like it would take any more abuse.  I told hubby to just park me and take the boys through the bog.  The farther we went in, the farther we would have to find a way to get me out if my chair decided to totally conk out on us.  I don't think hubby would have enjoyed carrying me while chasing after two kids!  Ha!  So, they left me.  Twenty minutes of people watching later and they came back.  We made it to the picnic tables and had lunch.  Then they left me again and went to the petting zoo area.  After that they rode the train.  We ended up staying about 4 hours!  Thankful I had my phone on me to do something to pass the time.  I'm glad that the boys were still able to have a good time and our trip wasn't a total bust!  We promised C we would go back again soon and see the whole zoo.  Here are the few pictures I took before we split up.
