Tunes & Blooms

Last week we packed up a picnic and met family & friends at the Cincinnati Zoo for dinner & music.  Every Thursday in April the Zoo & WNKU present "Tunes & Blooms", and the final show of the month is always two of our favorite local bands, the Turkeys and Jakes Speed & the Freddies.  The weather was beautiful last week, dinner was delicious and the music was rocking.

yesterday we spent hours at the zoo...and we were captivated by all of the beautiful blossoms.  especially the tulips.  ella wistfully said to me as we left: "don't you wish we could cut some for our kitchen table?".  and i agreed with her, but we restrained ourselves.
ps...the purple tulips are my favorite!
