The Zoo!

Playing at the park
Overlooking Roanoke
Raquel was afraid and didn't want to take a picture at first, she thought it was a real Tiger.

Riding on the Train!

Mike finally is home and so on Monday we decided we needed to get out and have some fun as a family. So we went to the Mill Mountain Zoo in Roanoke. Outside the zoo is a fun little play area with a slide that you have to climb up a man made rock to get to it and a beautiful over look of the city. The zoo is pretty small but was fun to see all the different animals, quite a few of them I've never seen before. We even got to see a cougar catch a little robin, its amazing how fast and sneaky they are.  Before we left the zoo we went on a train ride around the zoo, I think the train was Raquel's favorite part.  We ended our day in Roanoke with a trip to Sam's club for a little shopping and a pretzel and Polish dog for dinner. It was a fun day and we were all happy to have dad home!
