Potawatomi Zoo

Finally was able to make a trip to the Potawatomi Zoo here in town locally. I took Gabi, Tyler, Abby (Tyler's gf), Presley and Addy. We were a little concerned about bad weather considering showers and thunderstorms were forecasted. It was cute because Gabi, Presley and Addy said a short little prayer on the way to the zoo as it started to sprinkle..."please God, don't let it rain so we can go to the zoo and swim at maw maw's house. Amen." As soon as we arrived at the zoo, the sun came out and we were ready to go! Favorite exhibits included the prairie dogs (mine), the new butterfly exhibit (very cool!), the monkeys, and the carp (I never quite understood why out of all the animals, these are usually a favorite of the little ones).
Picked up McDonalds on the way back to my parents' house and the kids were able to swim for a couple of hours afterward. A very busy and fun day indeed! Thanks Chad and Amber, for letting us borrow the girls.
Left for home about an hour ago (3 ish) and guess what...the rain started on the ride home. Thank you God, for listening to the little ones and giving us such a great day! :)
