A Day at the Zoo

Last Tuesday we woke up to beautiful weather- sunny and clear after days and days of gray...It was such a welcome change that I decided we had to take advantage and get outside. Goodbye to-do list (you'll always be there tomorrow!) and hello zoo. We spent the morning looking at animals, took a ride on the train and carousel, grabbed some lunch, and finished up by playing on the zoo play structure. We all had a great time- here are some pictures of our fun:

First stop- the flamingos

Of course, we had to snap a picture of Jack in front of the "outback cabin" sporting his name.

Cute kangaroo!

It often seems that the lions and tigers are sleeping (and therefore out of view). This must have been our lucky day- in both exhibits the animals were awake and playing front and center.

We brought our own little monkey!
