Lions and Tigers and Beers, OH MY!

Tonight Christian and I went "Brew at the Zoo."  Basically they close down the zoo early and lots of breweries and a few restaurants set up shop.  The zoo is about a 5-10 minute bike ride from our house.  We bought tix ahead of time and it was all you can drink/eat.  When we got there it was still a bit light out and they had some animals out:

 Crazy eyes.

Here I am desperately waiting to eat the ribs while we watch the hippo go for a swim.

 

The silent disco.... 

Basically a dance floor but everyone wore headphones so only the dancers could hear the music.  Weird.

They had some DJ's etc.  Here are some people playing the banjo & violin.

Inside the little giaraffe house.  We were really close to them it was pretty cool :)

This one had an itch...

It was a lot of fun, and the night ended with a bang.... 

On our way home we rode our bikes down a hill and then it flattened out at the intersection.  I was ahead and stopped my bike at the corner.  I see Christian start to cross the road and say, "Cut over here hun... through the park..."  BING, BANG, BOOM.  What he thought was a sloped curb was a full blown NOT sloped curb.  Amazingly his bike went up over the curb but not without hurting his chest and his pride.  He didn't fall over but immediately dropped my purse (yes I made him carry my purse filled with our glass beer mugs they gave us on the way out) and his bike and held his chest.  Ouch.  I obviously felt bad as I imagined it hurt very much, but come on... it was a little funny.  And yes the beer mugs were fine.

Also, as I am writing this he fell asleep on the couch next to me reading his kindle.  He twitched and I turned and looked at him... his eyes opened and he whacked himself in the head with his kindle, practically knocking himself out.  HA!    He smiled and said he had an itch...

The end.
