Grandma and Evelyn are going to the zoo...

We took a trip to see Grandma and Grandpa Winterfield this past week. They just arrived home from their winter stay in Florida on Saturday, April 4th--we arrived at their house shortly after them! Perfect timing!

On Sunday, we had family day at the Detroit Zoo. Mommy, Daddy, Evelyn and Grandma met Uncle David & Aunt Becka, and Auntie Ann & Uncle James at the zoo around 11 am and we stayed until the zoo closed at 5 pm! Evelyn had the convenience of an adult to carry her or a stroller to nap in, so I think she was in better shape than the adults by the end of the day!
