Summer lovin' happened so fast

Jackie was closed today.  Her dad passed away this past weekend and today was the funeral.

I took the day off to stay home with the girls.

I texted Karri Schnur this morning to see what her, Courtney, and Greta were up to.  I was feeling a need to be outside doing something.  Lunch?  Shopping?  Zoo?  MOA?  Just hanging out around home?

We decided to head to Snuffy's for lunch and follow it up with a trip to the Como Zoo.

We pulled into the parking lot- literally turned off of Lexington to the road that would lead us to the parking lot and my little baby genius in the back seat yells out "Mom! Remember Jennie brought us here last year when you were working!  Her friend and Maddie came with! Member that?"

Umm, yes I did but how in the heck did she?!

Entered the zoo, turned to the right and saw this building.

This building brings back so many memories for me.  Remember when we were little and this was pretty much the zoo?  Inside there were exhibits and the information center.  Later through years you would find the gift store within these walls.

Still can remember when there were actual animals in these cages. 

We walked around and looked at all of the animals and you KNOW I had to get a picture of this guy!

We ended our trip to the zoo in Como Town. 

It was 90 degrees outside today and when we pulled in the driveway we saw that daddy filled the pool when he got home from work and there is was, calling our names.

She isn't terrified, she truly loves this!
