How about this weather!

It's still July in Arkansas, right? There is no humidity and the high temperature has been around 89 due to some weird, Canadian weather pattern. Well, thank you, Canada! I hate the hot weather so this is a welcome relief.

It was so un-miserable here that we went to the zoo. They are currently featuring the Winged Wonders bird show. This might sound obvious, but if you are even slightly scared of birds, do not go. They literally fly right over your head...inches away. I don't suffer from bird phobia myself, so I thought is was really good. It was free with admission and definitely worth 30 minutes.

We also went to the reptile house twice. Thanks to Dad for sending Nathan the Snakes of Arkansas book. Now he has another animal fascination. He's still on the big cats, though. Today he corrected a girl who mistakenly called the serval a "cheetah".

We ended the day with some homemade ice cream. It needed to be a little more frozen, but we couldn't wait.
