Cincinnati Zoo

When we woke up on Saturday morning and saw that it was going to be a beautiful and (slightly) cooler day than we had had for a long time, we decided it would be a great day to head to the zoo. We had been planning on going sometime this summer and yesterday was the perfect time to do it.

"Wook at that!"

There's a reason why it's called Cincinnati Zoo and Botanic Gardens. There are beautiful flowers everywhere. Here are a few more pictures I took of the awesome landscaping.

Despite a very short nap in the car and rising temperatures, Olivia had a blast at the zoo. My parents met us down there and we all had a great time. Here a few more pics from the trip.
