WOW!

"Wow" is a word that Brian uses very often and this morning he had a very good reason to use it! Everything seemed pretty routine when he went to bed last night, but when he woke up he found out that Grandma and Grandpa had arrived from South Dakota while he had been sleeping! After going to church, having some breakfast and taking a very short nap, we decided the best way to spend the afternoon would be by going to the zoo! Our first visit was to the Republican booth - or as it's known on the street, the elephant exhibit.






Brian is really into Lions and Tigers right now and we were in luck. Both of the big cats were out and very visible this afternoon. The Tiger really put on a big show for everyone who came by to take a look at him today. He even jumped into his pool to show us how Tigers go swimming!














We had to dodge some rain, but we were still able to make our way to the carousal on our way back to the car. Needless to say, Brian told Grandma that he wanted to wrangle himself a Tiger and take it for a ride!








Shortly after the ride ended, it started to rain - hard! Brian sat with Grandma as we waited for the storm to pass. Unfortunately, his patience started to dwindle so.........















.....he asked Grandpa if he wanted to take another spin. This time, his mount was the mighty Lion! By the time the ride ended the rain had stopped and we all declared our afternoon at the zoo as a huge success!
