Los Angeles Zoo - Gorillas, Orangutans and us

A trip to the zoo is well like a barrel of monkeys -















Hilarious and ticklish to watch.





The Western Lowland Gorillas - a family canoodle here.


An amazing rainforest setting for the Orangutan's
































































Who has the best time....well, maybe I did.

Legoland - All aboard

A special trip to Legoland marks the school year end...









and despite the early departure and FULL day, it was a blast!

























































Most everything is built with Legos, and they have quite a sense of humor about
it....





Geared for lots of kids, we careened around boats, sky cruises and rolling roller coasters.

A Siamese Piglet....




















































































































Be proud....





Wear it loud!
