The weather was great (mid 70s and sunshine) and we spent yesterday with our granddaughter, Stephanie and her boyfriend, Pierce. It couldn't have been nicer - well, except for my pinky toes working up blisters from being rubbed by my new walking shoes, but that was the only glitch in the day. Roger and I just enjoyed hanging out with them.
We met the kids at the San Diego Safari Zoo Park (formerly known as The Wild Animal Park) for an outing. They drove over from Long Beach and we met them at the Park. Today is Pierce's birthday so we treated the kids to a day at the zoo and ourselves a day with the kids. (Are they kids when they turn 21? Heck yeah, they'll always be to us!) Roger packed a great picnic lunch for us, we had some special cupcakes (from the store near the library) to celebrate the birthday, and just had fun being together. They brought us our Christmas presents - a tea mug for me and hat for Roger from Steph's school (Cal State - Long Beach) and we gave them our old toaster oven. Pretty fair trade, wouldn't you say?
Stephanie actually touched a goat in the little kids' petting zoo - she is not fond of "critters." Pierce and Roger were talked into going into the bat exhibit! (Pop will do most anything for his girl!) We rode the tram around the park then went to see the lions and elephants before Roger and I had to leave. We had to get back home to let Maggie out. Steph and Pierce stayed another couple hours and explored further before they headed back home. I think a good time was had by all!
We got home to a dog who needed to get out and was happy to see us after 5 hours! That's the longest we've left her in the RV. No damage, though. I think she is finally over her separation anxiety when we leave because she has her beds and toys and smells here. Thank Goodness!!
I'm waiting on photos from Steph to include here but will go ahead and post without them. When she sends hers I'll do another entry. I think there is a good one of the four of us in her batch. We enlisted the help of a stranger to make it happen so haven't a clue as to how they turned out.
Nothing else to say - it was a super time.
