National Zoo, DC {day 3}: meeting Danielle, her twin boys and baby girl

On Thursday, after battling traffic and a GPS that said I'd be in traffic for another hour and a half when I was supposed to be meeting Danielle and her kids at the zoo in a half hour I saw a sign for the Metro and went for it.
I got a parking spot at the very tip-top of the parking garage and hauled the boys and a stroller down three flights of stairs. We bought our tickets I grabbed a map and we headed up to the train platform, got on board and set out to the zoo.

We finally made it and bet up with Danielle her boys; Duncan and Owen, and new baby girl, Sophia.

So great to meet you and your family {minus Josh} Danielle! Finally! After all these years, and I appreciate you even more now that we've met in real life!:}

Fun! Looks like a great time!

By the way, the pandas have always been my favorite part of the DC zoo.

It was great meeting you too! Wow, these pictures make our get together look so calm! Too bad we didn't have video of the boys running chasing the elephant "tracks" with us chasing them, ha ha!

yeah, I know right...I forgot to post one picture of Evan, Duncan, and Owen climbing on the bench when we had stopped for a bit.
That pretty much summed up our day! :)
