CBKT Family Night at the ZOO!!!

This evening we attended Family Night at the Columbus Zoo, hosted by David's company, Coldwell Banker King Thompson. It was such a nice event they put together and great for people with kids. We took Ally, although she slept the entire time and won't remember any of her first trip to the zoo (not that she would remember if she were awake). David's co-workers were excited to see her. Dinner was provided for us, under a large group of sheltered picnic areas. This was nice for getting out of the insane heat for a little bit. After dinner, everyone was able to venture out at their leisure and take in the zoo. It was fun, but SO hot and David and I were like mad men trying to flip Ally's shade cover on her stroller back and forth to keep her out of any smidgen of sun (people probably thought we were insane, but at least our baby doesn't have a sunburn at 6 weeks old). David and I have not been to the zoo in years and many things have been changed, so we had no clue were we were going, but we knew we at least wanted to make it to see the elephants. So, we headed off in the direction of the Pachyderm Building. We saw bobcats and birds and wolves and many more animals along the way and finally made it to see the elephants. This area was slightly crowded, as it offered an air conditioned retreat to many, but the elephants were there along with some hippos and rhinos, so we got to see it all. We spent about an hour or so wandering around one half of the zoo, but Ally started to get restless and needed to be fed, so we decided it was probably time to head home. We had a great evening and I would like to thank CBKT for hosting such a nice event for their employees and their families!
