OK so we took the kids to the Louisville Zoo with my college friend Melinda and her kids yesterday. So much fun even though it rained on us. Take a look. We had a big crew-Melinda and her kids Ali, Molly and Dawson, me and my kids, Benjamin, Evan and Jacob, my mother-in-law Esther and my niece Christian and her cousin Damahn.
