Boo at the Zoo is right

David thought that it would be great to take Benjamin to the Zoo for the first time (back in October) and it happen to be during Boo at the Zoo. What a mistake, never again! True fashion Carlson kicked in while we were trying to find a FREE parking spot. He told two ladies that were standing in a parking spot saving it for someone to "enjoy their cigarettes". Then some guy started yelling at David because he was waiting for fifteen minutes for the spot that we just pulled into, which to our credit we didn't see him. David proceeds to tell the guy that he needs to calm down and we will give him back the parking spot. I think the only person who needed to calm down was David. After twenty minutes of searching for a parking spot we found one about a mile away.

Once we get in and get situated, we realize that it is just packed with a bunch of kids dressed up in costumes running around yelling. The women walking in in front of us had six children all by herself and kept yelling at them all to hold hands and stay together. Yikes! David and I moved as quick as possible to get outside where we thought that it would be better. NOPE, the polar bear and penguins exhibits were closed due to remodeling, the line for the train was so long (as if David would even pay money for it) and we just missed the trick-or-treat vendors. Now, I was just on a mission to get Benjamin to the monkeys and get out of there and that is exactly what we did.

Moral of the story, never let your husband come up with the great ideas! Love you though honey
