Fish Tacos.......Ummmmm. Fish tacos are one of my newest favs. John's recipe -- grilled tilapia, cilantro slaw, avocado and tomato drizzled with hollandaise sauce. Melts in your mouth!
and this week....bread and butter pickles
And just in case you missed it....I got it from the top deck as he did it again
Friday morning was hot so when my Mother got up I looked through the kitchen door, with my most pitiful face, and she let me come in the house. I noticed that she was getting ready to go somewhere which made me antsy. 1. I did not want to go back outside and 2. I don't like staying at home alone. So again, I started trying to look pitiful.
Guess what.....my Mother opened the car door and said I could go with her. I hopped right in and off we went. It was a nice drive but there were lots of curves. After a while we met up with my Daddy and he started following us. I did not know where we were going and didn't care!
Finally, the car stopped and my Mother said I could get out. I couldn't believe my eyes.

Summer time.....when the days blur together

You will have a lot of pretty tomatoes
And....if you like to cook
Like my husband
You will have lots of jars of yummy "SALSA"
And....if you look like this tomato
you just get looked at!
Giraffes are one of my favorite animals. I think they must be Lawson's favorite but that may be because we get to feed them. This cute fellow up here is very friendly and loves to come up for a treat but you have to feed him carefully because he has a split tongue and has a hard time getting the treat. If you look closely, in the picture below, you can see that the first inch of his tongue is split right down the middle so instead of being able to reach out and get the food you have to place it on his tongue behind the split. It took Lawson three tries before he got it right.
This is Lawson doing his imitation of a Koala Bear eating bamboo.
Lawson wanted to know why music was coming out of a rock.
Sometimes it is amazing what captures a child's attention. On this trip to the Zoo it was these unusual sticky plants and the bumble bees on them.
time out to cool off
After Lawson cooled off at the Splash Pad (notice his wet head) we headed out to see the Lorikeets. Lawson has always been fascinated but very scared of the birds. As always, with young children, things can change quickly. Lawson started feeding one of the birds and it just jumped on his arm and even though he was, at first, scared he quickly warmed up to the bird and let it stay. You can see that he was excited, scared and thrilled just by the look on his face! He amazed me by talking about the pretty colors on the bird's neck feathers.
I love the Kangaroos........Lawson loves the play cave in the Kangaroo exhibit
It was soooo hot
So....Lawson cooled off with a push-up and I had a cold diet coke....yum
