Fun in the Sun!

What a gorgeous day it was! We've been very lucky lately in the weather department!

Brandon had a book club meeting today (more on that in a second) so we decided to head over early and visit the zoo for a bit! Since we were planning a fairly short trip, I asked the kids for their number one destination in there so we'd make sure to head there first. Asia Quest won! Tigers and monkeys...that seems to satisfy everyone :)

The monkeys were performing all kinds of acrobatics for us:
The kids were loving them!
Until they got a little too "frisky". Then it was time to go see the tigers ;) (Good grief! Get a room!)

The tiger was taking a nap today so we moved on to the lion who did not disappoint! He was so close!
And then guess what we saw?!? The cubs!
Can you see him? He was looking right at me! Megan really wanted to bring him home :)

The obligatory picture on one of the statues :)
And of course we had to visit the aquarium:
They seriously could watch the fish for a very long time.

After that, Brandon went to my friend, Carla's house for a discussion of the book, Cracker, with her book club. This was his first time and he had so much fun! Carla, thank you for having this! We will be back for the next one for sure ;) (It was also so nice to visit with you for a bit today!)

I'm hoping this weather sticks around for a while! It's so much more fun getting out for all these great things when the sun is out and we don't have to wear all our winter gear!
