How do you brighten a gloomy day?

Answer:

Family time, zoo animals and beautiful flowers.

 

Today, we had a rare weekday family outing (all 4.5 of us) that we spent at the zoo. Brrrr, it was cold, rainy and gloomy out! We forged on though to enjoy this quality time together. It was one of the best times I have had at the zoo as the boys could run around freely (very few peeps at the zoo on a Monday morning) and they were really into the animals. Also, there was a ton of animal activity going on, for example, a baby Orangutan and playful Polar Bears.

And The Conservatory...I could have sat in there for a few hours with a book and a cup of coffee smelling the aromas of these beautiful flowers.
