It's a Good Zoo, But Not That Good

We're slowly preparing Fiona for her trip to San Diego. We don't want to get her too excited too soon, since she doesn't have a very well-developed sense of time yet, but we also don't want to wake her up at 5:30 one morning and throw her on an airplane with no idea of what to expect.

So a few nights ago, Andrea told Fiona that she'd be seeing Nonny and Pop the next time we went to San Diego and that when she goes she'll get to see the zoo. With all the animals. Like elephants. And giraffes.

"And a horse?" asked Fiona.

Figuring there might be some variation on a barnyard animal we agreed that she might see a horse.

"And bears?"

"Sure. And lions," we replied. "And a hippopotamous. And a rhino."

Fiona seemed to be getting the idea and chimed in with one of her own:

"And a dinosaur!"

As I recall, dinos in San Diego didn't work out so well.
