Memorial Day Weekend 08
We had a fun Memorial Day weekend in South Bend. Enjoy the photos.

Saturday May 24th, 2008. We went to the Potawatomi Park Zoo in South Bend. It is across
the street from my work and next to a water park that we will try out on another summer visit.
At the Zoo... Novi liked to use the map to get us around.
