Unexpected Wonderfulness

Yesterday our playgroup made a field trip to the Gainesville Zoo. It's a smallish zoo, but perfect for the little ones to walk around and see the coyotes and monkeys (I mentioned it was a small zoo.) We fed the goats; Grady thought they were so sweet.



The weather was so perfect. It reminded me of one of those days in college when we would go out to research park and sleep under a tree all afternoon. There were a few lucky people out there doing just that, but we were able to relax while the kids played the day away. Grady basked in the glory of two girls fighting for his attention on the tire swing, and all the excitement exhausted him. He crashed after I picked up the older kids from school-a late nap, but a nap much needed.
The day was just so...nice. The drive up there sharing books, the walk through the zoo, and the play in the park. Unexpected wonderfulness.
