On Sunday afternoons, we often enjoy quiet walks around our local zoo. A week ago was our first time back in 2012, and we noticed that the entrance is decorated to celebrate the year of the dragon:
The zoo is actually a large park which also includes amusement rides, food vendors, and countless cherry trees which are now in full bloom:
It turns out, that during cherry blossom season, the zoo is NOT the best place for a quiet walk:
For a fee, you can climb up on a platform into the flowers and have your photo taken in traditional clothing. Or you can get your compliant grandfather to do it:
You can also get your picture taken with a Chinese model:
Or you can save the money and take your own photo anywhere on the grounds:
After a long day of looking at flowers, it’s nice to lie down on a blanket with your (toy) assault rifle:
Or find a peaceful spot to play majiang with friends:
When you get hungry, there’s a lot of good food for everyone, including “fish sticks” for the baby:
or a drink of fresh coconut milk:
We played it safe (sort of) and just had a few sticks of barbeque:
And wherever you find flowers, there will be butterflies:
Yes, there’s nothing like a quiet day at the zoo (and this was nothing like it)!
Uncanny resemblance to the Memphis zoo. My favorite was the “Fishstick”. Love y’all!
Let’s face it…do i have to even say what Jeruid’s favorite picture is?!
We know – we thought about his recent birthday gift when we saw the AK-47…
