The last day of our vacation was spent at the Pittsburgh Zoo. It's not as big as the ones we have at home, but we still had a great time seeing the different animals.
This picture of Jacob cracks me up. What you can't see are the graceful giraffes walking past him about 30 feet away. He can see goldfish anytime, but for some reason, they held his attention more than the giraffes he only sees at the zoo or on tv.
Happy Emmy in the stroller...this was her 2nd visit to a zoo
When Emmaline wasn't in the stroller, she was content hanging out with me in the sling.
Ellie liked riding in the stroller too!
A rare moment of sibling love with a polar bear in the background 
Jacob in the Sting Ray tunnelThis Sea Lion had fun teasing the kids
We couldn't resist getting a picture of this sign. Maybe we should get one to hang in our backyard!
After the zoo, we headed home to Ohio, with a quick pitstop in West Virginia to visit the huge Cabela's store. Nathan and his dad had a good time looking at all of the guns and knives. The kids enjoyed the huge collection of "stuffed" animals (these weren't you average taxidermied ones, there were elephants and lions in addition to the commons ones). Nathan's mom and I had fun tasting fudge in the general store. There were 50 different varieties and although we were told we could try each one, we tried to use some self-control. After all, we had to save room for dinner at Cracker Barrel!
We finally pulled into our driveway around 10 pm tonight. Everyone was tired and glad to be home. What a wonderful vacation where lots of great memories were made!
