We took or annual trip to the Zoo, the fourth for Isobel, but the first for Violet.  It was a beautiful day, sunny but not too "sweaty" as Isobel would say.  Bella got to see some of the Australian animals she had just been learning about in school, and Violet loved the various monkeys and apes, and her first time playing in the sandbox.   We might just have to go back again in the fall!
