Spring has arrived

The weather the past couple days has been wonderful. It has been warm and sunny. We have been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. Yesterday Cate and I played at the park and then we came home and played in the back yard. Cate had a great time running around the yard and trying to play with Buddy. I also moved her slide outside so that she could play on it. We had such a wonderful day.





Today we went to a zoo that is close to our house. Some of my coworkers were talking about it last week so we thought we would go and give it a try. It turned out to be the perfect thing to do. The zoo had a lot of animals, including 3 adult lions and a baby lion. They also had a petting zoo where Cate was able to pet a Llama and a goat. The zoo was the perfect size to walk around with a toddler. Cate enjoyed looking at the animal but she called most of them "doggies". In June they are going to finish a "splash and play" area for the kids to play in the water. We are really looking forward to coming back for that. Then there was a park outside the zoo that we took Cate to. She had a great time playing and going down the slides. Then we had our lunch at a picnic bench. It was a great way to spend the day and the weather was perfect. We are so happy to have the sun out!!
