LA zoo and china town

last weekend we had a little family outing and took kaite to the LA zoo. it was quite an experience with my family. on the way home we stopped in china town for dinner hence the pictures of a random chinese restaurant and me with a strange little hat on.

however these of my sister and i, i have no explanation for other than the fact that we are crazy...
giraffes! my favorite animal we saw! they are cute! better than the komodo dragons anyway...those things are just plain creepy.
katie thoroughly enjoyed the frozen lemonade...in fact, i think that may have been her favorite part!

yay for cool hats! i forget what these things are called...oh, well. right after my mom took this picture some lady went over, put on the hat and had her husband take a picture of her...ooo i'm a trend setter now! ha ha! :)

katie sitting in a frog ride. i think the little rides of china town may have been her favorite part, second to the frozen lemonade, of course.
ya, don't ask what betsy is doing, 'cause i have no clue...at least katie and i look normal. oh, and this is one of her better pictures, so that is sayin' something...haha! just kidding. humm...it's a good thing she doesn't read my blog :)
cool chinese restaurant we ate at...i like the name "hop louie". ooo that's fun to say! :)

hope you all had wonderful days! half way through the week!
