We got there early, hoping to find the animals more alert, but they were still just laying around looking bored. I wonder if the animals get tired of people watching ...many of them had their backs turned to us, and curiously, a couple of the larger apes put cardboard boxes on their heads. To hide? There was still enough to see that the little ones had a good time, though, and of course they simply enjoyed having an outing with everyone! The girls stayed mostly in a stroller, but they did get out to meet the goats and climb on a few animal statues.
After the kids headed home, Ken and I took a detour and walked through the Rose Test Garden nearby. So pretty!! My favorite one is called "About Face", which is pictured below. I never used to like roses, but now I often think about having a small dedicated rose garden area, probably in the front yard.

I can't remember the last time I went to the zoo. Oh wait - we went with Katie and Bryan last summer. That was fun, but it's more fun with the little ones.
I have a rose bush in my front yard that Andrew gave to Polly (for her birthday? I can't remember.) Also a wonderful yellow-orange rose that reminds me of the "About Face" rose you liked so well today.
You're welcome to cuttings any time.
