Another Trip to the Zoo

Today the kids and I, along with two friends from church, went to the Great Bend Zoo. We went right after breakfast so that we would have plenty of time for the drive and all of the zoo before lunch. The kids all said that the Aquarium house and lions were their favorites. We spent much time with both. While we were watching the lions, one of the lionesses got up and walked right toward us. It was within two feet of us. (Close enough to raise your blood pressure, even with the fence). All of the animals seemed especially active today, which made it better for the kids. After the zoo we had a picnic in the park and then the kids played. We then stopped at the Goodwill to look for some things for VBS (which made Kev think I was crazy). But the kids were well behaved all day and I think they had a really good time.
