A trip to the zoo in January?

YES - we put on our jackets and went to the zoo yesterday.  It was 63 degrees here yesterday, a record high for January in the midwest!  Everyone we saw yesterday was smiling and happy, thrilled to be outdoors and there were no snow shovels in sight.  Most of the animals were already indoors in anticipation of the harsh Iowa weather, but we still had fun on the playground and saw the new sea lion pool.

Here's a picture of the kids playing before dinner, Katie wants to do whatever Kevin is doing.

Have a great weekend.  Katie starts Water Babies swim lessons tomorrow.  Nate is going to take her, I am sure she'll love it.
