Zoo, Zupas, And A's.

Lisa wanted to get her hair done before the baby comes, so Megan and I were on kid duty. We went up to the zoo, and let me tell you, mid-December is prime zoo-going season. Not a person there! We had the animals all to ourselves. It flurried a bit on us, but we had fun anyway, besides everyone (AKA Lucas) being bummed about the train being closed for the winter. Here are some pictures from our fun morning:

They were both cold. Tigers are humongous.
I'm pretty sure that I haven't been to the zoo in about 8 years. It's completely different, but totally cool. Check out this Asian-looking elephant. So cool.
Yeah, we were pretty much wearing the same outfit. Oh well.
Afterwards, we ate at Zupas. I'd already ordered a salad when I decided to sample the chicken enchilada chili soup. Oh my gosh. So good.

This morning, I took my last final of the semester. Freedom!! It was for my French literature class, which was one of my favorites because my professor was hilarious. I only needed like maybe an 80 to keep my A, but I wanted to do well. I told myself that if I got higher than 92, I could reward myself. Here's how it went:
I love taking finals.

And here was my reward:
I seriously recommend that you try this soup. It's so delicious. I might have to find other reasons to reward myself.

And thus begins Christmas break! Woot! I'm going to try to see how many books I can read over the break, since I don't ever have time for leisurely reading during the semester.
:D

Thanks for taking the boys. Every time they see Megan now they ask if you're coming too. They just seem to think you two are a package deal. :) Let's have Zupas together when this babe comes!
