Some Days Are Just More Perfect Than Others

The weather has been unbelievable lately: Highs in the low 80's, low humidity, and beautiful sunshine. This is absolutely unheard-of in Arkansas in August! The girls and I have been taking advantage of every out-door opportunity. Mostly we've been playing in the kiddie pool outside, but this weekend we took a trip to our local zoo. It was amazing! The weather was so cool that the animals were very active, and we got to see a gorilla do a somersault, an elephant throw sand on her back (to keep cool), and a lion get up and get a drink of water, then look at us through the glass and growl! It was one of the best trips to the zoo that we've ever taken. Here are just a few pics (I hope to get better about taking pictures, it just seems that I never remember until after-the-fact)
