girls' night out

What a night I had Saturday! G's mom, my bestest friend Kathie, and I went to Zoofari. It is one of the Columbus Zoo's biggest fundraisers and is an adults only party featuring tons of yummy foods to sample from local restaurants, refreshing adult beverages and foamy pops, and lots of musicians and bands throughout the zoo grounds.

Here are some of our highlights:

Carole, me and Kathie waiting for the festivities to begin.

First stop....City BBQ goodness....our FAVORITE of the night! The shrimp wasn't bad either.

The tickets for admission came with 3 drink tickets, which we didn't want to go to waste.

We even saw a few animals while we were walking around, although not many were out.

After everyone is fed and feeling fine, the concerts begin. The Menus from Cincinnati rocked the Pavilion with their fun music and crazy antics. Yes, that is a skirt and strappy tank top he's wearing (later on, he changes into a woman's bathing suit with a tutu, then changes again into a pink teddy).

While The Menus were at the Pavilion, Phil Dirt and the Dozers were at the WatersEdge taking us on a trip in the time machine playing a lot of Beach Boys and Jan & Dean songs, even sneaking in some Doobie Brothers and Eagles (their Hotel California cover was awesome).

Drum solo...followed by a flute and guitar battle. Surprisingly, the flute gave the guitar a pretty good battle too. We even met Phil after the show....

This picture is a special one just for Kathie. :) Mmmmm-mmmm goodness!

It's been a long time since Kath and I have gone out and had such a blast....but we were both so tired the next day, that just goes to show we're getting old. Maybe we're just tired from having so much goodness going on in our lives. After all, we stayed at the par-tay until closing time!

Oh, and Kathie....you were still cute, even without your Vegas outfit!!

Carole, thanks for another wonderful time. We always have so much fun together!
