Up close and personal

Wow. The weather here has been so strange. Two days ago it was 90 degrees and today we'll be lucky if we see 50. The other day we were playing outside in the AM wearing shorts and a t-shirt and by lunch we were wearing jeans and coats and then back to shorts again in the evening.

Anyway, we were able to go to the zoo during one of the nice days this week. We usually go in the AM, but one of Caleb's friends has school in the AM so we went in the afternoon. The animals were all out and very active. (In the mornings, we are lucky if they open their eyes!) It was near feeding time for the lions and tigers. They were pacing back and forth waiting. The boys thought it was great to see them so close! It actually looked like they were touching these huge animals. So cool!  I kept wondering how thick the glass really is...,,,
