Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, but daughter and grand daughter came in for the weekend and the whole crew of us (6 adults and 4 kids) spent a fun weekend playing with new addition (grand daughter who is 3 months old now and seemed to really enjoy all the people around her). Sunday we all took off for the Dallas Zoo. It was a little chilly, but when the sun came out, it was comfortable. I took beaucoup pictures on my iPhone, but will have to download (or upload?) them sometime today. But here are a few taken in the new addition, *the African Savanna*.
For the moment, I'm just checking in as there was no computer time this weekend with everyone here. It was pizza night Saturday night and we got home in time from the zoo for me to make chicken enchiladas Sunday night. This morning they all took off for the hill country as the kids are on Spring Break. I still have classes this week (my Spring Break is next week, but we don't plan to go anywhere). And this morning I have to be at class, so this will be short. Hopefully, this afternoon I will be able to catch up reading the weekend's blogs... and commenting.
My grand daughter (who is 11) put *pininterest*? on my iPhone. I've heard of it, but had never checked it out. Now I will...
Happy Monday to all!
What a wonderful weekend you had with the family...that's what life is really all about :)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos...especially the lion :)
Yes, the King of beasts was certainly relaxing in the sun...
DeleteLooks like you had a great weekend. I understand the necessity of zoos, but always feel sorry for the Beings who have to live in enforced captivity. I suppose most of them, if not all, are born in captivity, but the instinct to be wild would remain.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, that's neither here nor there!
Have a wonderful week!
I know, Kim. Sometimes Zoos seem sad, but when they have enough funds to maintain the animals in conditions at least similar to what they would be in the wild, the animals certainly don't look discontent. But I have seen some zoos where this isn't so...
DeleteFun times!!!
ReplyDeleteThat beats blogging. :-)
And give photo ops! Win! Win!
"Auntie"
definitely photo ops...
DeleteI wonder how we would survive without grandchildren to tutor us in electronics.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the truth? I'm still trying to figure out how it all works... but it is kind of fun.
DeleteThat sounds like a perfectly fun weekend. That Mr. Lion certainly looks like a retired cat. Thanks for the pictures.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lion was definitely enjoying the sun...
DeleteI look forward to hearing what you think of Pinterest. I know some people who use it, but I know little to nothing about it. Love the pictures of the sunning lions. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting into Pinterest. I know nothing about it either, but have been checking it out since Sunday and find it rather addicting. There are some fabulous pictures on it and quite a few *interesting* ideas. You create *boards* like outdoor, indoor, animals, travel, ideas, etc. and pin the pics or ideas you like to your board. That's as much as I know at the moment.
DeleteGrands and the Zoo...your a blessed lady. Have fun with pinterest. But take heed...it is addicting. :)
ReplyDeleteDee, the zoo was fun and the kids (as well as the adults) had a great time. As far as pinterest is concerned, yes, I am finding it rather addictive.
