and rained a little took pictures of the bears and Lions but it was pretty dark.

Feby 19th. Went over to see Claytons and down town to inquire at Chamber of Commerce about roads we are thinking of going to Riverside Monday. Roads in bad shape yet they say. Had a scare at Claytons. Doris & Alan let the brakes off the car and had to run to catch it going down the street. in the afternoon mother and the children went riding on the merry go round while I went to the zoo to get some snaps wanted the big Lion but he was not there today guess they moved him

Feby 20th not feeling very good guess I havent got rid of my cold yet. We decided not to drive to Riverside now. as we would have to go around about way on acct {account} of bridges direct way is about 120 miles we would have to drive about 180 or 200 miles
