Fairy Tale Town and the Zoo

Today we went to William Land Park in Sacramento for a patient reunion get together. It gives our cardiac patients a chance to come and see all the folks that cared for them during their stay. The girls were ready to run and did they ever! I think they went non-stop the entire time.

The girls walking the crooked mile. Natalie of course led the entire way. Kaitlyn loved running after her and calling "Na-yee", both laughing the whole way.

Dropping money into the wishing stream.

Natalie couldn't wait to take her picture as a zookeeper (we must have 3 others of her at varying ages from other visits). As she is walking towards the "zookeeper" she states "Being a zookeeper is hard work, mom". Where does she get this stuff?

I had to include a picture of a lemur. Natalie has not liked lemurs for as long as she has had them in her nature magazines. When I told her that the zoo had lemurs she got this surprised look on her face and said "oh, but aren't they mean?". I told her that she would now have a chance to see a real lemur and see that they weren't mean. She couldn't get enough and we stayed to look at them for quite a while. She especially liked how they were cleaning each other (she had to tell everyone that came by, "look they are giving each other a bath") and then this one on the end of the bench got up from his nap, stretched and started right at her. She thought it was the greatest!
