David and I woke yesterday morning with a desperate need to get out of the house. We had the diaper bag packed, all 3 boys dressed and fed and the van loaded by 8:45am. We set out to go garage sale-ing , but almost an hour in, we'd only seen one sale and it was a flop. I guess everyone decided at the last minute not to have the sales they'd advertised online. Bummer. We had no desire to turn around and go back home so we hit the open road......
.....and it took us to Indiana.
Potawatomi Zoo in South Bend to be exact.
It was ridiculously hot (peaked out at 96 degrees I believe), but we didn't let that stop us. We toured the whole zoo and said "hi" to every animal there before we left.

He was checking out the alpacas....
then a girl walked up next to him so he
checked her out instead. |

Even the poor little monkeys were hot. I was sort of
jealous of this guy all splayed out on the cool cement like that. |
 |
| I swear to you, they were posing for me. |
 |
We forgot all our quarters in the van so the boys couldn't
buy any food for the fish, but lots of people around
us fed them so we still got to watch. :) |

Minus the sunscreen smear on my camera lens
making everything all blurry
this picture is adorable! |
