As noted a few posts ago, Heather is out of town this weekend so when some friends invited us to go to Boo at the Zoo with them and their kids, it sounded like a great idea. We decided this a few months back and, to be honest, I never really thought through all of the logistics.
The event didn't start until 5:30 so there was never going to be an option where the girls get to bed on time. I had made peace with that. But the issue was compounded by not figuring out how to park several weeks ago. This left only the Metro.
Long story short, the girls did quite well considering that the Zoo was not selling any food. I was banking on that to complete their dinner. It was not to be. No food on sale at all leaving only the snacks I brought with me, water from a water fountain, M&M's, apple sauce and Pirate's Booty. Long story short, it was 8:45 when the girls finally were down, but serious meltdowns were at least avoided.
