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.
