9-5 Picnic at Potters Park

It was a beautiful day so we packed a picnic lunch and picked up Miss Debbie and Rachel and off we went to the zoo. Had a nice lunch and then went and looked at all the animals. Alex had a blast riding and feeding the animals. It was a great time for all.

Miss Debbie did not want he picture taken, so of course I had to post it !!!

Grandpa and Rachel

They have a new cage at the zoo. You can go in and feed the birds. Alex thought it was the coolest thing.
