A Beautiful Spring Day














I heard a rumor that today, Sunday, was going to be sunny and almost 70 degrees so yesterday I decided that my boys and I would get out of the house and enjoy the outdoors at the Como Zoo. When we arrived the temperatures were still a little chilly (upper 40's and cloudy) and the crowds were sparse. Most of the animals were still being housed indoors but we still had a fun time checking them out indoors. We had snacks and bought souvenirs. We all had a ball. The sun eventually came out and the temperature was a very warm upper 60's. On our way home, Jonathan suggested that we have our lunch outside and have a picnic. He even donated his blanket for the occasion. We had so much fun we forgot about naps. We'll definitely sleep very soundly tonight. (In case you are wondering, the picture with all the leaves and tiny red things...those are very active leaf cutter ants. Jonathan took that photo.)
