tunes and blooms and cold!

we've been enjoying tunes and blooms at the zoo again this year. tunes....blooms....what's not to like? well, maybe the 45 degree weather from last week....but we brought the coats out again and bundled them up and off we went. the flowers were beautiful and the kids still had the best time. we went again tonight and enjoyed much warmer weather....

so i didn't get any pictures of the tunes. or the blooms. but the zoo sure was awesome this evening! it was the first night of tunes and blooms at the zoo, so greta, otto, and i headed there this afternoon. such fun! we saw some animals, including greta's favorite the "polar bear doing his swimming exercise". then we met up with some friends for some food and live music. all in this gorgeous summer like weather. can't wait til next week!

jake speed at tunes and blooms

so another thursday with fantastic weather, good music, and great friends to share it all with. we met up with some of greta's pals at the zoo to listen to jake speed and the freddies. these concerts are PERFECT for kids and adults....the freddies started at 6pm and finished at 7pm, which was just enough time to feed the kids dinner and then let them dance and play before heading home for bed. enjoy some video of greta dancing to jake speed's old timey sound.

Zoo Blooms and Tunes

Every April along with the Zoo Blooms, the Cincinnati Zoo has an event every thursday night with live local music.  It's a great time, and since it starts at 6 PM it's a great way to take kids to a concert.  We went this Thursday and met up with Stacy and Scott.  Was a beautiful night.... 

Check out Gavin and Greta, and those awesome tulips... 

And for some behind the scenes on just how these cute kids pics happen... check out this hilarious video of Stacy and Melanie...
