Brevard Zoo Trip

Grandma Lin went to Brevard Zoo with Johnmark, Cathy, Cate, Eve, and Jonah.


I enjoyed the animals of the zoo as well as the little ones that came with us.

Getting to the zoo around 11:30, we started with lunch.

We observed a variety of animals, including a giraffe in "time out" as he had run off the other giraffes from the viewers stand. He received NO pats or snacks!





















These a just a few of the pictures taken there. Do you see the baby birds in the water? Can you see the rhino's head? The baby "pig" was left alone by his mom for a few moments. I did not have my camera with me to get pictures of the lorakeets. (I still do not know how to spell this word.)





























With two areas left to explore,



We had a rest stop with snacks -

ice cream for Jonah, Eve and Cate!

The children could not make up their minds as to which way to go, so they were corralled again.

Short naps did occur for the children but basically they kept us entertained throughout the day's outing.

They are very happy children full of laughs, funny noises, singing "A, B,.." and words in the making.


When Mom and Dad are ready to go again, I hope to be included.

New York Visit

Grandma Lin got to visit Andrew, Kristin and Elisa in NY state for a few days.
I enjoyed the cooler weather (cold to me) and a few colored leaves left on the trees in some areas. I saw snow in the air, frozen water in the bird bath and heavy frost on the fields. While Kristin was busy with some school obligations, I was privileged to care for Elisa. She is a sweet little girl, who smiles and makes little sounds that endear her to a Grandma's heart.

A day with Joseph (Joey)

Joey and Lady became good friends. They would play chase each taking turns being the chased. They would play hide and seek. Usually Lady doing the hiding. There was some kind of flailing of arms and legs with Lady ducking in and out of the motions. Moments of sitting together and also the times when Joey just picked up Lady and took her where he wanted her to go.

While Mom (Grace), Grandpa John and the three older brothers went to the Space Center one day, Joey and I played at home. The following pictures speak for themselves.























AS the day drew to a close, Joey started winding down with some Veggie Tales.










He fell asleep on my bed and I called it a day.
