It was a cold, but luckily not rainy day, when Tricia, Kate, Grandma Roo, Jacob, and I all went on our merry way to the zoo. It’s been a while since we made the trip and the kids really needed to spend some time outside the house, so we decided to brave the possible weather for huge upside we’d get for our trouble.
Here’s Jake enjoying the puddles left by the last few days of torrential downpour we’ve experienced.
And here’s Jake when I asked him to stop his complete and utter exuberance in jumping ecstatically in the puddles.
We have Kate searching for the penguins who decided that swimming in the water wasn’t in their best interest today.
And the kids riding the bronze hippo after the real ones just kept sleeping.
The finale to the day — the fresh air and all the running around we did ended with the hoped for result, a completely exhausted Jakey-Jake crashing out in his seat on the way home.
