The Living Desert

We went to the Palm Springs zoo today, the Living Desert. It was a gorgeous sunny day and a perfect day to spend at the zoo. Some of the highlights were the baby giraffe, the merry-go-round, and the petting zoo. We had to go back to the petting zoo twice, so Jonathan could brush the goats with two different types of hand brushes. The kids rode in a safari wagon and I think Diana thought she was a big girl. She kept trying to reach for Jonathan's goldfish.

Jonathan's other highlight while we have been here is riding around in the golf cart. Today we took a ride out to the PGA West clubhouse where they are setting up for a big tournament. Jonathan thought it was fun to ride on the street in a golf cart and to see all the tents.

Sequence for kids is his favorite board game these days, ever since he got it for Christmas from Nana and Grandpa Gordy, and we have been playing it a lot. Jonathan and grandpa Gordy are normally on a team against Nana and me. Tonight after we got done playing, he said..."I love vacation! I think we should stay on vacation for 40 or maybe 80 nights?"

Diana has been a trooper and is loving the attention from Nana, Grandpa Gordy and her big brother. She is still a little messed up with the time change and with the combination of fighting her naps, she is, or I should say was, a little tired. Last night I thought she was taking a "cat nap" like she does sometimes around 4:30, but she never woke up again until 1:30 am. I am glad she slept so good but the bad news for her is that I know she can go about 12 hours without eating now.
