Natural Bridge Zoo

A long-awaited for, over-due post. We've been busy with the ins and outs of life and enjoying lots of time outside lately.

Two weekends ago, I had it in my head to take Graham to the local zoo. Behn agreed it would be a fun family outing, so we decided to go that Saturday. The weather was gorgeous all week.

And that day when we woke up- it was pouring.

I do not like to change my plans. I'm a little stubborn that way. I also don't like being stuck inside on the weekends. So, we decided to go ahead and go, pray for sun, and see what happened!

This is what happened: It was not raining on the drive there. When we pulled up, it poured. As we toured the zoo, it poured. We all got wet. Towards the end, it was only drizzling and much better. And as we left...wait for it...the sun came out shining!

Yep, it rained almost the whole time we were there and was lovely the rest of the day.

But, we still had lots of fun! We had jackets and an umbrella and Graham didn't seem to mind the wet at all. He was such a good boy!

On the way home, we stopped at the Pink Cadillac Diner. Because you can't leave Natural Bridge without going to the PCD. It was...a very typical and tasty greasy spoon.

 Cousin Lily taught Graham how to enjoy lemons...or was that Stonewall Jackson's influence?

Fun times as a family of 3!
