Cold Sunday

This morning was pretty chilly, but we wanted to get out of the house, so an expedition to the zoo was planned. It was actually really nice - we were there early, and the weather kept people away, so things were pretty quiet. Elias had a chance to see the otter being fed, and we saw a few animals, like the wolves and the bobcats, that haven't been out and about in a long time.

On the way home, we stopped at Fernhill Park to fly the radio-controlled dragonfly that Devyn gave me for Christmas. We'd tried it yesterday in our backyard, but that wasn't quite enough space to maneuver around. It was too windy at the park to really control it, but Elias enjoyed watching it just the same - actually, he probably thought the crashes were probably just as entertaining as the flight.

After lunch, Cara took a bath while Elias and I played Kids of Catan. We've picked up a few boardgames for him over the last couple weeks, and he's been able to follow the rules and play pretty enthusiastically, so I'm thrilled. Anyway, a very decent day so far.
