Boo At The Philadelphia Zoo

Today we went to BOO AT THE ZOO at the Philadelphia Zoo with the Davis family.
We walked around the zoo with Shann, Sarah, Caden and Alyssa looking at all of the animals. However, today was a special day because since it was so close to Halloween, there were a lot of places to get candy from the workers.

B101 Radio was at the zoo and they were raffling a night’s stay at the Great Wolf Lodge. We all got tickets and Alyssa got to pick the winner.

We did not win the first drawing, but Shann and Jay went back for the later drawing. Wouldn’t you know it, Shann had that winning ticket. The lady wanted to get a photo of the winning family but Jay was the only one with Shann. Since they did not want to have it look like Jay and Shann were a gay couple (NOT THAT THERE’S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT), they grabbed 2 strangers and a teenage boy and had their photo taken with them.

We watched a presentation about birds and then Caden and Alyssa played at the treehouse while the adults rested.

After we left the zoo, we stopped to eat at Cracker Barrel and then headed for home.
Everything was going great until about 4 miles from the Quakertown turnpike interchange when the car started making a crazy noise. Shann pulled the car off to the side of the road and it was discovered that the brake caliper had come loose and we would need to be towed. Shann was not happy about this.

After waiting for about 45 minutes, the tow truck arrived and we got a ride home.

Even though we had the car trouble, the day was a blast. We cannot think of another way we would like to spend our day.

Our friends are the best!
