Zoo Day

As fun as the end of second grade has been, it wasn't without some tears when Dayna and her best friend discovered they'll be in different classes next year. Both moms have reassured the girls that there are many ways they can stay best friends, even in different classes. One thing we arranged right away was a "girl's day" to the local zoo. It was the perfect day (we missed the buckets of rain day by about 24 hours!) and we were able to spend more of our time enjoying the outdoor exhibits. In Nebraska, it's often too hot or too cold to stay outdoors.

All the girls

I've never seen the lion this awake and alert

I just wanted to rub her belly!

Somehow "The Tiger Sleeps Tonight" just doesn't have the same ring
