Our Day at the National Zoo!

Yesterday, we spent the day in DC at the National Zoo! Our family, along with the Delage family (also in the PC) headed to DC to see all the animals, enjoy the nice weather, and redeem Rob's last day off before his classes started today! We really had a great time and it didn't get too hot! We were going to take the Metro there, but decided against it since we could all ride in the Delage's 15 passenger van together.

The boys really had a great time! They got to see all sorts of God's creations: a red octopus (Joel was scared of it), a tiger, two lions, a huge comodo dragon, otters, a sloth bear (not related to a sloth) gorillas (in the picture), pandas (just like Curious George sees at the zoo!), elephants, and hippos, just to name a few! It was quite a memorable day and one we will certainly want to repeat, especially when the weather is cooler! And the best part about this fabulous zoo is that entrance is FREE all year!

Being with the Delage family was such a treat! Ken and Tiffany have four children, including one (age 2 also!) they adopted! I believe the Lord has quickly answered our prayers for a couple we "click with" and can really share life with! It was fun getting to visit and get to know them better and letting our kids get aquainted also! The Lord's kindness was all over the day!
