Each day is a new adventure as we never can tell how Mom will feel from one day to the next.  So planning ahead for activities is not something we have been able to do very well as of late.

This morning, Mom slept until about 10:30a.m.  When she woke she felt pretty well and decided that she wanted to go with the kids to the zoo.  So, we packed up and went to the zoo.  It was a rather hot day and I wasn't sure how well Mom would do, but as always, she was determined to go.

It was a beautiful day, but very hot!  So we made sure that everyone stayed well hydrated and Mom and Jeff took breaks in the shade.

This picture was taken in the zoo at the pond that Mom and Jeff helped to build.  It was really neat to get there and find out that they were involved in the construction of the pond.  It is a nice pond if you are ever at the Glenn Oak Zoo in Peoria, you might want to check it out.

Mom enjoyed watching the grandchildren play and get excited about the animals.  It was another nice experience with Mom, and Jeff.
