Lyle and Sherry's Visit - Part 4 - the Zoo on June 3rd

Sunday, June 3rd was Lyle and Sherry's last full day here. So we skipped church (gasp!) and enjoyed God's wonderful nature and animals (not to mention family) by going to our local zoo. The zoo is not very big, so we were able to get to all the decent attractions in under 2 hours then have a picnic lunch. Fun Day.

The Zoo had a mini-Carousel


Shortly after Krystin rode a camel, she got to see a live one.

I love how you can see the kids' faces in the reflection.

The Zoo is located in a beautiful tree-filled park.

We ate our picnic lunch in the shade. It was a nice ending to a fun trip - not just the zoo, but Lyle and Sherry's visit. Unfortunately they left the next day. Time flew like it always does.

Thanks again for the wonderful visit, Grandpa and Grandma!
