Fun day with friends

One of the things on the kids' summer to-do list was go to the zoo and since our family pass runs out in two days, we squeezed in one more trip before the end of summer.  We also invited our friends, the Baileys, to join us.  They just moved back from Okinawa and now just live 40 minutes from us.

The weather was looking iffy, but we decided to risk it and drove over to the zoo.  It turned out to be glorious, for about two hours, and then the rain set in.  But two hours was enough to see half the zoo, the animal show and have a merry-go-round ride so that was great for the kiddos!

After we left the zoo, we headed over to Legendary Donuts for the "End of Summer Donut Blow-Out"!  Yes, this was the promised hamburger donut that I had arranged for Emmy and London.  They worked hard all summer on reading and math worksheets so this was their reward.

That's all donut.

Yes, folks, that's a real piece of bacon on there.
