A Golden Afternoon

On December 3rd in Minnesota at was a warm day.  To say that is rare is an understatement.  I couldn't waste it.  When Charlotte got home from school we ate lunch and then headed to the zoo.  It had been foggy/windy/overcast for a few days before and in the morning, but when we got to the zoo the clouds parted and we saw the sun.  We watched the otters, and ran with the wolves.  We saw the new cougar/big cat exhibit and laughed at the funny totally green sod that is in the enclosures.  Then we saw the farm animals.  Charlotte says this horse has hair the same color as Aunt Katie's.

 After our walk through the zoo we took a trail to the play area.  Here Lee and I are on the path.

 After swinging on the big toy the kids wanted to climb in the only tree small enough for them to climb.  I helped them into it and then took some photos.
