| How Now Brown Cow |
It was a glorious day here in Missouri today! The weather was beautiful. It started out with a drive in the topless jeep (the jeep was topless, not me) to yoga. I actually got goosebumps!

| A floating Luke! |

That didn't hinder my mood for the weather though, it felt amazing! On my drive I was pondering all of the ways we could take advantage of a such a super day. What other way to spend it than to have a picnic in the park?
 |
| "Mama! Look, there's a cow!" Natalie exclaims. At first I was taken back and wondered why someone would bring a cow to the park? Then I realized it was a huge spotted dog. That Natalie, always the prankster! |
After the park, it was time for something a little cold. To stay with the theme of cow's why not make a Brown Cow?
Brown Cow
