we've lucked out the past few days and have been getting some weather that actually permits you to leave the house. not a common thing in michigan februarys, i hear.
so since Chris has especially long fridays, i decided to go to the zoo with Carly today, as the zoo is free during the winter. our friends Jessica, Sam, and Will joined us.
turned out it was a little colder than expected, and really windy, but we had a few hours in the sunshine that did us some good. and saw some animals, of course.
[L-R: Monkey, Carly, Sam (under the blanket), Will]
let me just say, you might watch too much Dora if you go to the zoo and say
"Look, Carly, its Swiper!" and "Look, can you see Isa?"
Oh, dear.
[Carly introduced Monkey to his cousins]
one of Carly's greatest virtues is her love for animals.
she is sweet.
we taught her to roar like a lion and tiger,
and she was roaring her little heart out in the feline house.
and she saw a red panda and said "kitty!"
it was cute.
[saying "hiiii" to the goats]
Then we found some sunshine and enjoyed a little picnic,
which didn't last too long because everyone was ready for a nap.
[please disregard my two coats and crazy au naturel hairs]
It was so wonderful to get outside before winter returns.
I sure can't wait for spring.
We have a weekend ahead with exactly no plans.
And we like it that way.
xoxo.
