A LITTLE BIT OF THIS...A LITTLE BIT OF THAT...

Last week, I decided to take the kids, my daughter's friend, and my mom, to the San Francisco Zoo because they're having this awesome deal through August. When you pay for one adult, four kids (14 and under) are free! My husband works in the city, so he met us there after work, and we decided to make an entire day/evening out of it.

I won't post all my zoo pics, but I had to share this one. This rhino was massive and awesome!

And this is probably the closest I will ever get to a black bear! I took this picture through the glass!

And here are all the kiddos!


After the zoo, we went to our favorite Chinese restaurant!!

I think this picture is cute of Miranda and dad! My husband looks so tired!

And finally, the kids wanted to stop by the beach! Now, let me tell you, this is San Francisco, not Southern California. The majority of the time, the weather is really cool there. On this day, it was freezing, but they still managed to get wet! You can tell by the overcast, and how my husband has his hoodie on over his head, that it was COLD! My mom and I stayed in the car the entire time. It was so windy, too!

GREAT EATS ON SUNDAY!

After church on Sunday, we went out to lunch with a couple of our friends. It was really relaxing because our four older kids went to their friends houses, and we just had our youngest, Veronica, with us.

We ate at this place called "Taiwan", and it was good enough to curb the craving for Chinese food. It wasn't the most authentic, and the 70's soft rock music playing in the background didn't really seem to fit with the theme of the restaurant.

But, who am I to complain. It was a nice lunch, with even better company!

We started off with the typical Won Ton Soup.

Moo Shu Pork. If you've had this before, then you know it is served with thin "pancakes." Well, it was kind of funny when they served it with TORTILLAS!!! I was tempted to ask if we could have cheese to make quesadillas. But, I have to admit that it was pretty good.

I don't remember the name of this dish, but it was spicy beef.


Gotta have the fried rice! Do you see the moo shu burrito in the background?


Chow Mein...


And finally, Cashew Chicken.

When we were done, our friend Warren suggested we get some frozen yogurt just a couple of blocks away. Great way to walk off the food. But, doesn't the yogurt cancel that out afterward?

So many toppings to choose from!


Of course, every little girl has to have pink sprinkles.
