the zoo.

The other week Colonel's parents came to visit.  so what did we do?..... well me and Kern stood in line at the library before it opened, feelin' like real nerds, to get free passes for the zoo and botanical gardens... so we went to the zoo and botanical gardens- for free!

Here is the only picture Colonel took of us- the rest were of animals.... and I'm lookin' pretty tubby. gee.

 I'm pretty sure the animals at this zoo hate their lives- too hot.  So lots of them were hiding in the shade or in their caves.  We thought this lion was pretty cool... for some reason....

 a pretty bird:

 We also visited the Botanical Gardens where there are just walking trails and a bunch of desert plants and butterflies and things:

 My fat caterpillar face-

 A cool picture Colonel took-

Other than the zoo and gardens, we ate. um.... ate. and.... ate.  oh and shopped a little :)  it was pretty fun getting spoiled for a whole weekend!  and somehow I managed to gain only one pound last appointment- weird.
