Spring Weather in January

We had some unseasonably warm weather in January.  We took advantage by going to the zoo for a picnic.

The picnic was Rachel's idea and she really enjoyed it.

She packed the blanket and plates to get everything ready.

We watched the baby elephants playing in the water.

Of course, Rachel crawled through the tunnel

Rachel fed some of our leftovers to the birds in Hermann Park.

The next day, we bought and planted some flowers in the garden.

Rachel and Owen both helped. 

Watering the plants devolved into just playing in the water, so we took off their shirts and let them enjoy.
