Flowers from Shashi's Garden

Came home from church with beautiful flowers from our friend Shashi's Garden.
They have been decorating our dinning room table all week. It is Friday evening and they still look fresh and colorful.

Thank you Shashi.........you grow beautiful flowers in your garden!

Mother's Day at the San Diego Zoo

We took Mom Harty to the San Diego Zoo Mother's Day.
We thought it would be a good place for grandsons and her to be entertain.
After going to a bird show that was a lot of fun we went to the Orchid exhibit that is not usually open but was open because of Mother's Day.

Walking among the different types of orchids.There were hundreds of them!

Then we went off to see the animals the rest of the day.
We saw a lot and took hundreds of pictures. But here we are only posting the not so common animals and the animals and the ones that were showing some action.

Enjoying our lunches by in front of the elephant exhibit.

This bird was huge!

This is a giant rodent. He was as big as a large dog.

There was some action at the lions cage.

Eating time! Look closely at his mouth, he has a big peace of flesh on his mouth.

The Polar Bears were very active.... so fun to watch!

At the La Jolla Cove With Andrew, Erick and Mom Harty

Andrew wanted to go to the beach so we went to La Jolla Cove. It was full of people but we were able to find a space to set our chairs and also be able to see the boys as they intermediately went to the water.

Mom Harty, Gordon and I watch the boys from our chairs.

The boys went right to the water

Playing in the sand

Sand, waves and water

Andrew is the only one that came prepared. He brought a bag with him and in the back he had his bathing suit and a change of clothes. Andrew could get wet and enjoy the beach. The rest of us could only wet our feet.

Gordon rolled up his pants and decided to join the boys at the water.

Andrew made a whole so deep that when the stand the sand will be almost to his knees.
