Today, we had our first family outing to a public place. We went to the zoo. We were extra vigilant and avoided all enclosed or crowded places. That limited the amount of animals that we were able to see, but the trip was good for our mental (and physical) health. It was a beautiful afternoon.

Even the giraffes were basking in the warm sunshine.

The giraffes, of course, were our first stop.

By we, I mean Ryan and I. . .Olivia slept through most of it.

and it was a wonderful visit. . .until I dropped the camera. I couldn't live without my camera and I hope I didn't do any damage to it. I could kick myself.
