Frankfurt Zoo Trip

This weekend we took a trip to the Frankfurt Zoo with 23 people - lots of little kids! Train is definitely one of my favorite ways to travel, and the kids seemed to enjoy it, too, because they weren't constrained by seat belts and so could switch seats or stand up and walk around and have all kinds of fun. Sarah and her friend Sydney sort of attached to me and Mac all day, which was kind of fun. The zoo was actually a lot smaller than I thought it would be, so we saw all the animals within about an hour. Then came the downpour. Mac and Sarah and Sydney and I ran in search of cover and just so happened to end up under the same tarp as the rest of our group, whom we hadn't seen since arriving at the park. Once the rain stopped for a bit, we left the zoo and went to enjoy lunch at a rare and wonderful place - Pizza Hut! It was delicious, and gave us a chance to dry out a bit. (the waitress had looked at us askance as we came in dripping wet.) Once lunch was done, the four of us hung out by the fountain until it was time to meet everyone else, and we headed home. Well, we thought we headed home, but we were on the wrong train. But after that, we did head home and actually made it. :)
