Oakland zoo - Sister Act

When Jr. and her cousin get together, they are in a world of their own and it is fun to watch them observe things, make up stories, interact in general..

So here is the Oakland Zoo, the way they saw it..






The little one has her own perspective of things. She was in white and white and looked like a mini astranaut exploring things her own way.





Will post the remaining animals and flowers tomorrow. Until then, ta ta..

Oakland zoo - Revisited

After a break of two years, we visited the Oakland Zoo today. We had a really great time!

Here are the teaser photos, taken with my new love, the Digital Rebel!


of birds and...


animals, or kids trying to be animals..


I promise you, this post is not like a Jackie Chan movie trailer where the best action sequences are completely shown in the trailer and you go watch the same sequences with filler material in the movie. Brings back memories of watching First night, first show in Alankar theater a few decades ago! Boy, I am growing old..shoo shoo, you bad thoughts.. Now back to the topic! You will see some more nice pictures when I upload them tomorrow!

Home made food, great company, nice weather, cooperating kids, time well spent! All said and done, it was a great day!

Little wishes - updated

The little one has hairy issues. Ever since her first haircut when she was a year old, her hair has not grown back fast enough, at least not to her expectations.

Poor thing keeps asking us to comb her hair, put rubberbands, braid etc. not realizing that there is a 3 inch minimum!


Grandma(originally attributed to mommy) did get this one with great difficulty, and we were all soooo glad! (In this house, we believe in giving credit where it is due!)

Just last week, I had caught the little one in a very thoughtful mood. Unfortunately, she takes after her dad for her looks. But she is 100% girl!! Wants to wear her "pattu paavadai", jewelry, bindi (dot on her forehead), pink slippers, basically the whole gazillion yards!


Maybe she was contemplating "Why is my hair not growing fast enough? Did I inherit that also from my deda?"
