First, we went on our 2nd annual family hike in Middle Canyon. The trees turn colors up there before they turn down at the house. It's so pretty. We had a little picnic of veggie calzones first. That was memorable, because someone let their cattle out and they were roaming the picnic area, eating the grass and being BIG. Anna thought it was great to have them so close.
Afterwards, we took a leisurely stroll up the path. We collected different colored leaves and Anna picked up bunches of rocks. We overestimated how warm it was going to be and Anna's pink jacket just wasn't enough so she got to wear my jacket, too. It was a little big, so we tried to roll up the sleeves and we tucked the front of it into her pants.
We also made it to the zoo. It was a cool day, in the middle of the week, and later in the evening. We got there about 10 minutes before they closed the gates. That gave us an hour and a half before they'd kick us out. Basically we had the entire zoo to ourselves! We loved seeing the new Rocky Shores exhibit with the otters, polar bears, and seals. Anna really like posing on the tiger statues. Then, she got to go on the carousel. She was the only one on it and chose to ride the zebra. I think this ride is what decided Anna in being a zebra for Halloween.
