Gorgeous Easter Day


 What spectacular weather we had yesterday.... super blue cloudless sky , lots of sun and it was very warm!!

With everyone here we rotated between indoors and out of the deck!! With food  and drink. My grand daughter gifted me with lavender and mint to start the deck's planter boxes!! They went outside for some sun but back indoors at night.. just in case!

We had loads of food !! My teacher /daughter made a gorgeous charcuterie platter


It was pretty much GONE by the time everyone went home!!

My daughter was on a field trip today to the Kansas City Zoo with 18 younger students... and some parents and grandparents!! Her email to them said " rain or shine"! We all had our fingers crossed it would be the latter but no luck. They visited the polar bear, the penguins and got a chance to pet the sting rays before it started to rain!! And rain it did... She told everyone that the email had said rain or shine....so everyone was soaked. They managed a dry lunchtime in the polar bear tunnel and some warm and dry time in the Discovery Zone... but the rest  of time  everyone was wet! Everyone.. kids and adults alike!! No one complained! 

She took a bag full of quarters so they could feed the goats... The goats had been inside until they realized that all the kids were going to feed them... so out they came. Everyone had a ball... and she had enough quarters for two times. Even those who were initially very nervous got over it!!

She promised the kids another trip there next year and that they would go to the "Africa" area on the tram !!
