A Day at the Forestry Farm

We had such a lovely day today and probably better than most especially because it was a Monday and I wrote the post I did 12 hours ago...

The kids and I picked up Grandma, Wren and Berg and went to the Forestry Farm this afternoon. It was super hot, but we endured. We rode the train, walked through sprinklers, saw a baby Yak and a Grizzly Bear walking in circles!! Our highlights were in the children's zoo where we were able to see the baby White Bengal Tigers and a very entertaining Capuchin Monkey; plus it was air conditioned in there!!! The kids had a refreshing popsicle and a play at the playground and then we were off to visit the butterfly garden - boy, was it ever hot in there :-) I was able to get some great shots of the kids in some trees out front too! After we had had our fun, it was back to Grandma's for watermelon and fort building in the basement.

Again, it was a lovely day of simple pleasures, warm weather and family memories.
