The second week of the holidays and leading up to New Years, Michelle, Emmet and myself let Mike sleep in while we raked, mowed and swept our front yard. The kids wanted to do a random act of kindness for our neighbors so we mowed, raked and swept their front lawn too! A great activity to get exercise, fresh air and make the place look nice and clean.
The following day, we went to the San Francisco Zoo and renewed our membership (thank you Uncle Billy from New Hyde Park!). We took a ride on the little puffer, saw a sleepy giraffe, a couple of monkeys, a sea otter, some penguins, the lions, the tigers, a zebra, and a very hungry ant eater.
The kids also bought stuffed snakes and two stuffed sea turtles. We did not play on the play ground, but decided we would do that next time we attend the Zoo!
We also received a surprise telephone call from Jonathan and Maria saying they were coming down for New Years! What a very special treat!
We had a wonderful meal on New Years:
- Tuna
- Teriyaki Skirt Steak
- Grilled asparagus
- Greek Salad
Happy New Year!
