I had a great visit with my cousin. We spent Friday at the zoo. It was the public debut of two lion cubs—two girls who were born to Naba on 29 Jan 14. They are so cute!

We also spent some time watching Bao Bao the baby panda.

If you haven’t been to the zoo lately, I urge you to go. It is a great way to spend a day (or part of the day) observing Sabbath time! And you get your daily exercise too! Bao Bao is outside early (8:00) and goes in between 12-1 pm. You can see her once she goes inside. The lion cubs are out from 11-1 each day. Once they go inside, you cannot see them. Of course, there are no guarantees any of the animals will be out as planned; unforeseen things do arise.

This morning a group of nine of us formed a team to walk in the Susan G. Komen 5K Walk for the Cure.  (If you look carefully, you will see Nikol in the back row.) The walk was fun and it felt good to do something worthwhile on a Saturday morning.

Now it’s time to turn my attention to some serious packing.  My adventures are about to begin!
