Let's go to the zoo! I had NO IDEA that this Zoo was so HUGE. But wonderful. We saw tons of cool animals, plants and artwork.
We were SO LUCKY: we were there on FREE MUSTACHE DAY!! How could we turn down a deal like that?? Here, Lucas models his FREE MUSTACHE.
Matt was not into getting a FM. He said he would get one ONLY if I got one.....I'm a sucker for FREE
Panda
Matt did a school report on the Lesser Kulus. Little did he know at that time that he would be seeing them at the Zoo!
Big Gorilla
One of the thousands of gorgeous blooms at the Balboa Park Rose Garden
Luke, tired at the end of a long hot day at the Park....still sporting the FM.
This woman was spinning fleece from her farm....I bought some to bring home to spin! And I got an incredibly good deal on her handspun, hand-dyed yarns too.
I loved this cactus from the zoo. (It did not belong between the fiber shots--I guess being a blogger pro is something that takes time!)
Handspun balls of yarn!Another great day in San Diego! Luke and his friend Kat have been wonderful hosts. I couldn't ask for any better! Now, onward to Orange County: in search of a date shake.
The yarn: is it wool? Alpaca? Golden Retriever?
ReplyDeleteHow was the date shake? I've always wanted to try one!
Are ya havin' fun yet? (seriously, it's obvious you're havin' a ball!)
After taking ALL DAY to make our way to Anaheim on Monday, there were no date shake shacks to be found. I was disappointed...stay tuned for the update...
ReplyDeleteAs to the yarn, there were several varieties that she was spinning, but all were from her own SHEEP.
