How Summer Vacation Should Be

This morning we had a short, relaxed NRS play date at Jane and Woody's Wacky World of Animals. Nate and Amelia fed a camel, miniature donkey, and chickens; watched flipping pigeons and fainting goats; saw the elusive llama and Turkey Tom; and we bought a dozen blue eggs. The weather was a perfect 68 degrees (quite a cold snap). This afternoon we played at the Barton's with Carrie and her kids (a mutual friend from the neighborhood). We finished the day with a Taekwondo class. I thought the chilly evening (59 degrees--the temperature dropped throughout the day) called for soup, so homemade chicken quinoa soup for dinner and s'mores on the fire pit out back for dessert. YUM!
