as requested by papa

here are some pictures from about a week or so ago, when we
took a trip to the national zoo. it was really crowded, seeing
how it was the saturday of labor day weekend, at about noon.
but, aside from our poor planning, it was a fun trip.
we didn't get a chance to see everything, so we will definitely be
going back before the weather turns on us.

note: the really over exposed picture of thomas and i in the 'zoo' sign
was steven's doing. but, it would have been such a cute picture,
so i tried to save it. the sad thing is that steven took
quite a few cute pictures of thomas and i in the sign...
but unfortunately they are all VERY over exposed. oops.
