My Rose Bush Is Blooming!

I am so happy to see my rose bush doing so well this year. I am tickled pink!

Last month Andrea and Joel came down for a visit. We visited the Como Zoo, and later we went to Qcumbers for supper. It was lots of fun!

 This Carousel was made in 1914. 

The horses were hand crafted, and painted.

I was pretty thrilled to ride on a 98 year old horse. :)

:: A Sea Horse ::

We thoroughly enjoyed a show played by Sparky the Sea Lion.

Great big old teddy bear taking a nap.

:: Giraffes ::

Our favorite part of the Zoo were the monkeys. They were hilarious! 

This little guy needed a drink.

Thirsty Anyone?

We also enjoyed the different verities of plants, and flowers.
