~ Zoo ~

Saturday we went to the zoo as a family.  We cancelled our camping trip because it was too cool to swim, the main attraction as the park we were planning to visit.  And it had been a long week with VBS, so we made the wise choice and sat this one out. 

Here are my sweeties.  You'll notice our extra child.  She and Grace are inseparable these days.  I always wanted four anyway. 

Our zoo is quite pricy, so we always bring a healthy picnic lunch or snack. 

These are our new bears.  The other pair passed away from natural causes, mainly being 15 years old.    They were brothers and a tad grouchy. These are not full grown and are playful, which means they are more fun to watch. 

Notice the jacket?  Yes, it was that cold.  In July it is normally in the 80's with terrible humidity.  It was in the 60's when we first got to the zoo. 

 

Ryan and his new friend, Sam.  (It's cheaper than getting a real one! )

I hope you've had a nice weekend.  We are gearing up for a big birthday this week.  Grace turns 10 on Tuesday.  We're having a slumber party, her first.  We're also hosting a family gathering in her honor later in the week.  I keep thinking there will be a week of summer where we slow down.  Doesn't look like it will be this week.

Sounds like you made a nice choice and it looks like you had a lot of fun. We are finally in our heat wave, high 80's & 90's, plus, a shocker for us, with humidity sometimes. That is so rare for us. I prefer the dry heat.
Hope you have a great birthday party for Gracie this week. :)

Looks like so much fun :) I love the zoo but we don't have one near us so it's very far and few between visits! How fun about the upcoming slumber party!! Grace is going to have so much fun :)

The Indy Zoo is the best! I love your photos and I feel like I went too...vicariously, of course. I would love to tag along one day this fall.

Looks like a great time! We still haven't made it to the zoo this year (due to our lack of a car during the week)
This weather has been quite a shock though, hasn't it. It looks like we won't be setting up our pool this year after all. :-(

I am so sorry to hear that your family is going through rough times with your business. I will pray for you!!!

God Bless,
Michelle
