A Day at the Zoo

Blogging in the winter is hard. The days start to meld together and it feels like nothing noteworthy is going on. And that's true to an extent.

Nothing immediately dramatic is happening, but what is happening is all important. I'm laying a foundation for our children that will be REALLY dramatic in a few (or more) years down the road. Hopefully I'm dramatically molding their hearts and minds to swim against this world's sin, to have a reason and a hope to trust in Jesus and dramatically live their lives for Him.

But today we got to do something noteworthy. We drove ourselves way across town and visited the free zoo. It was just a perfect day. My sister-in-law and my niece came with and Mel was a great tour guide for the kids. She read them all the signs and answered their questions. The kids also enjoyed spending time with their cousin. They just adore that little girl. There were plenty of animals to see and plants to look at. The weather was just perfect, inside and out. It was a perfect Zoo day.
