Day at the Zoo

So I am officially the biggest cold weather wuss that ever was. It has been freezing here in Georgia the past few weeks, and I'm only now beginning to function again. It warmed up to 40 degrees this week, and I about threw a party since it was no longer below freezing. My coworker in Iowa scoffs at me (she wishes it would get out of the 10s), but I truly have not been enjoying the cold. I'm not meant for this kind of weather. Anyhoo, all this cold weather made me think with fondness about our sunny zoo day in Arizona over Christmas vacation. Ahhh..... to be outside in 60 degree weather. It makes me and Katie happy.
Getting ready to slide makes Charlotte happy.
The twins aren't identical, but are these the same expressions or what? It's all in the tongue action. One absolutely must stick out one's tongue to go down the slide properly.
Katie did pet the real horse, but I think she likes the fake cow better.
Meanwhile, Charlotte loves to go down the slide so much that she gets really excited just going up the steps.
The expression on her face is pretty much how I feel at the thought of winter ending. Who knew I would be so wussy? Oh wait, I did.

Oh my gosh, the tongue pictures are awesome! I wonder where they get it...;) If it makes you feel any better, it's been really rainy and "cold" here the last few days. BTW, Sisko (sp?) brought my things over; she's so nice.

I totally agree!! I am not a cold weather person and definitely NOT a snow one. It doesn't snow there, right? I enjoy cool temps but the more I see weather and especially snow in other states, I know the valley of the sun is for me.
