A day at the Zoo

Since today I will be up at our house in Orange with the plumber, I decided to take Joshua to the San Diego Zoo yesterday after church. We were able to meet up with my cousin Kimberly and her daughter Natalie and enjoyed a couple hours cruising the beautiful park-like setting of the zoo. Most of the big cats were up and about so that is always exciting. Of course Natalie was thrilled to find a leaf while visiting the hippo tank.

Joshua and I searched for 4 geocaches around the Zoo in Balboa Park, but we were only successful in finding one, which Joshua discovered. Oh, well, it is a beautiful place to walk and hike and be outside together. Joshua is sitting on the "waterfall roots" of two huge trees in the park.

On our way home we stopped at Kimberly & Nate's home so we could at least say "Hi!" to Nate. He is hard at work on a Masters at UCSD and so he couldn't join us at the Zoo. These are the cousins our extended family surprised a couple months ago by setting up their apartment for them when they moved here from Minnesota. It was fun to be in their home again now that it is all set up and warm and cozy. Natalie was intrigued by Joshua and me and we loved playing with her.

I'm off to the house in Orange shortly. Thank you for your prayers.
