Beautiful Sunday

Sunday was a fantastic day. We woke up to clear blue skies, which after a long winter of gray skies, was really a treat. We decided to head out and enjoy the outdoors. We got the kids dressed and decided to go to the zoo. We took the bus to the boat crossing and then walked to the zoo. It was such a beautiful day and warm that we had to keep shedding layers on the way to the zoo. By the time we were at the zoo we all had our coats off and our sleeves pushed up. The girls enjoyed seeing all the animals at the zoo. Ali and I had been to the zoo recently but Jason and Sofia hadn't been to the zoo since last fall so it was fun for us all to see it together. The zoo was quite crowded since everyone had the same idea as us but it didn't matter since it was just nice to walk around outside. We used one of the wagons at the zoo so the kids wouldn't get too tired walking around. They both enjoyed sitting in the wagon. The kids didn't want to leave in the afternoon but after a couple hours at the zoo we knew it was time to head home. We enjoyed our walk on the bike path back to the boat crossing and came home for a little rest before heading out to church. After church we enjoyed dinner at a pizza place near our church and then home to put the kids in bed. It was a very busy day but fun. It really makes me look forward to summer.
