Luca and Layla

Sunday afternoon Charlie flew in with Luca and Layla. We met them at Lowry Park Zoo. We ate a picnic lunch out of the back of our cars and then headed into the park. After being there for less than 30 minutes, the classic Florida down pour started. It rained off and on for about an hour. By that time we were nice and sweaty with frizzy hair. The temps cooled off, so that was nice. Later it felt like a sauna, but that's Florida. Although, it's much more tolerable than the 100+ temps in Texas. After it stopped raining the kids had fun on the kiddie rides. Even though it's a zoo, we never even got over to the animal side! Judd and Charlie "snuck" the kids on to the flume ride before the attendants could measure the kids. Lets just say Evie was maybe not quite tall enough, and Luca was borderline! They had a blast!! They didn't care that they were wet the rest of the day either. But, Evie's favorite ride was the banana ride that went around in circles similar to the Dumbo ride at Disney.
