Project 365 Day 79

Another busy day today. Matilda and I, along with her new friend Taylor and family went to the Sierra Safari Zoo. All the years I've lived here and I had never been there. Although it was pretty hot, we had a good time visiting the animals, then just as we were about to leave we got to see a peacock in his full glory and witness the mating ritual as he tried to attract a female he had his eye on. It was magnificent! The female however, was not at all impressed and completely ignored him. It was as if she were saying, "Yeah, yeah---I've seen it all before."

I put M's hair in pigtails for the day, and her hair just looked so healthy and beautiful as I braided it that I just had to take a picture. Don't you wish those kinds of things lasted as we grew older? I think we should go through the natural aging process until we turn 21, and then we should just stay the same as far as looks go until we die. What a good plan! I'm going to put that in the suggestion box and of course add that it should be put into effect retroactively. I wouldn't mind looking like I did at 21. How bout you?

I have also included a picture of the peacocks. I'm sure Cheryl or her husband got a better one than I, but this will do for now.

Finally, we ended the day at Wingfield Park to watch the movie "Some Like It Hot" outdoors. What a turnout! There were over 1,000 people there! The last picture I've included for the day was taken there at the park while Taylor was tickling Matilda. Can you tell that they had a great time together? New friends---What fun!
