Well, let me start my saying that I got messed up somewhere in these posts. I thought this was Day 4, but now that I look more closely, I see that Geetle is wearing 2 different outfits, so I guess my memory is fuzzy. So, maybe some of these things happened a different day, but they were fun anyway.

On what I thought was Day 4, we went to the Cincinnati Zoo. They have a new giraffe exhibit with 5 baby giraffes.

The visitor area is raised so that at certain times of the day, you can feed them leaves.

The Zoo is very nice. I know Geetle and Giggles had fun. BAGD showed Giggles the bird house and the monkeys and she shreiked with delight. Pookie had a rough day. He was very tired. But he did a great job of muscling through. I took him on the tram and he fell asleep! So, when the tram came back to the starting point, BAGD got on and rode around the route one more time. All in all, Pookie managed to sneak in a 40 minute nap at the zoo. We were proud of him because he kept himself together and did not melt down, although he was very tired.

I thought these things also happened on Day 4, but maybe I am wrong:
One of Papaw’s neighbors on the 10th floor burned his toast and the fire alarm went off. We got to evacuate and everything!

Papaw took us to Winton Woods, a county park with a wet playground.
Mamaw and Papaw went out to dinner alone, so we walked over to have pizza at a great “cheap” place called Donato’s ourselves. Donato’s is the home of the “edge-to-edge” pizza which is covered entirely with Pepperoni. The crust on their pizza is uniquely crunchy. I can’t explain it, but its very good.

Afterwards, we checked out the Concourse Fountain, a 9 inch deep “pool fountain” that kids can swim in.

Then we rented a 5 person Surrey and rode along the river for an hour or so.

After that….to bed! We were leaving for home the next morning and needed to pack up.
