HAPPY BIRTHDAY BARBARA JEAN. Barbara turned 14 today. We sent her birthday gift in a card. She called us as she opened her card. I always buy the kids nice birthday cards. He Grandpa add his comment off to the side of the words. He did the same to Jessica's card too. Loves to bother the kids. Maybe he'll be nice to the Grandsons. Their birthdays are right around the corner.

Had a nice relaxing day today. Stayed at the trailer. Temperatures reached 88 degrees. Little breeze but weren't really bother with the breeze sitting outside at the trailer.

They are talking of rain this weekend. The temperatures will be cooler this weekend. I believe it said 64 - 68. Time will tell.

It has been a wonderful trip this year. We have had much warmer temperatures this year than last.

Had a fun day. Went to The Living Desert at Palm Desert. It was very interesting. It is actually set-up in the desert. There isn't a lot of landscape that needs to be done in a desert setting in the desert, LOL. Not expensive to go to either, it cost us $12.75.

Bob isn't usually interested in going to the zoo. Laura called when we were there and I told her where we were. She said, Mom isn't this the second zoo you've taken Dad to. LoL she was surprised. Little different going to one while away from home, instead of when you are home and he sees other things that he needs/wants to do.

This was the literature we were given with the map of the Living Desert inside.

The Welcome Sign. Couldn't get the whole sign in and be able to read it too.

This is a one hump camel. At San Diego Zoo we seen two hump camels. They are giving rides for $5.00. You can see in the back ground the other camel giving rides.

This is a young giraffe. I don't really know how old, but smaller than a full-size giraffe. I've heard before that the Mother giraffe has her baby while standing up. The baby when born is 5 feet tall (or long) and falls to the ground. Oh my goodness.
