We bought a living social deal (zoolights with train rides, carousul rides and parking included) as a bday gift for our son...the original plan was the 4 of us to go (dh, me, ds and 10 week old)... But lately it has been hellish when we would stay out past dd (10week old) bedtime...we actually get home by her bedtime but she gets angry cuz we messed up her routine so she will cry in the car until we get home...

Now plan b is for me and dd to stay home while dh and ds (and now grandparents) go to the zoo...however I'm getting second thoughts and really want to go especially since I know how much ds loves the zoo and this will be the first time he will see a lights display...

What would you do? Just suck it up and take 10week old to the zoo too knowing that the car ride back may be hellish? Or just stay behind?
