NYE...

With the forecast projecting highs in the upper 50's--possibly even lower 60's--we couldn't wait to get outside and enjoy the beautiful day. We headed down to Cincinnati to go to the zoo. We'd never been to Cincy's zoo, but had heard that it was very hilly. Well, compared to the National Zoo, this zoo was practically flat! We had a great time and were thrilled with the minimal crowd--we nearly had it all to ourselves. Most of the animals were out too. The girls loved seeing the giraffes. Afterward we had a late lunch at Panera before driving home to watch the (pre-recorded) Sun Bowl game...GO IRISH!!! What a great last day of the year. Now we'll see if the girls will make it to see the ball drop...

The girls...

I love these girls...

Logan and Maren...

Think she could fly?

Couldn't decide it looked better in color or black and white?
