Week Away, Part 2 of 5

After surviving the car trip to Gainesville and getting a good night's rest, we woke up to lots of rain. Fortunately, the rain stopped and cooled everything off. What is the best thing to do after a heavy rain? Wade in the water with Nana, of course...

Chad, Cassy, Cohen and Channing joined us and we headed straight to the Gainesville zoo. We discovered the boys are just a little bit shorter than the American Black Bear...
Time to pet and feed...

or just admire from afar...

Had to end the zoo trip with a pic of all the kids. Everyone is looking at the camera!!!!

We followed up the zoo with playtime and picnic in the park...

Beware of the lions in the park...

Well, I guess they look pretty harmless...
