Rare Family Outing

We NEVER get full days off with the whole family...but, it happened today!  Daddy took the day off and went to the zoo with us.  The kids were magnificent(that happens either).  It was a fresh breath of air for this Mommy.

The jungle has been closed for over a year.  Gavin and Kate don't even remember what it used to look like.  But, we had fun today exploring together, new, as a family.

I work full time.  My husband owns his own business and works 60 hours+  a week.  Most days I am exhausted...but today was not one of those days.  Today was a day to lift my face to the sky and give thanks that God thought it fit to give us a perfect day. Thank you Lord for that...it was truly needed.
