To the zoo

If you know me, you know how much I LOVE (read with dripping sarcasm) hot weather. So, you may find it hard to believe that we packed up the whole family and went to the zoo today, with the temp at 87 with a heat index of 91. We met up with a college friend of my husband's and her little girl. We did both of the indoor exhibits before taking a break for an ice cream treat. Then we did venture outdoors to go to the Grizzly Coast to see the Grizzly Bears. They are always fun to see.

Needless to say, we needed a little down time, and something cool to drink, after the zoo for the boys' cheeks to switch back from rosy red to pale. But 30 minutes in the 'cool' 76 degrees made everyone feel refreshed. And even though baby and big brother did not have a nap prior to the zoo, neither fell asleep after, although daddy and I could have used a nap.
