Let's take the boys to the ZOO!

 Arrival

Kid: "Hey! What's taking so long!?"

Between arrival excitement
and departure exhaustion
we saw EVERYTHING!

 Departure

Me: "Quick, enough with the peacock, 

we've got to get to the bus!"

Tired kid: "Oh, no!
I don't want to go home on the bus!"

Me: "O.K. we can go home by rocket ship. 

But wait, where is it? 

Do you see a rocket ship in the sky?

What about going home on a stage coach

pullled by 10 draft horses." 

Kid: "I DON'T LIKE horses!"

 magic carpet? 

no such thing; 

motorcycle?

no, too scary; 

submarine? 

there's no water here;

...etc. etc. 

until we were on the bus 

on the way home, falling asleep.

All that fresh, sunny, warm San Francisco weather!
