Miss McGillicutty and a fun day

We really packed in the activities today. We kicked it off with Johari's first dentist visit. I was not looking forward to it. Luckily, it was short. Mainly, just a quick scan of her teeth. The teeth checked out fine. A lovely set of pearly whites!

The sticker from the dentist well-placed!

Then we tried out another new park for us. It had a bit of wooded area and grassy fields and a nice playground.

Johari had a midday nap and then we headed to the zoo. We checked out more animals this time. First, we had to check in with the baby gorilla and she and her mama were as cute as ever. Then, we tried the carousel. She rode a horse that happened to be named Miss McGillicutty. Funny because there are times when I use that as a random term of endearment for Johari. Then we checked out bears, orangutans, monkeys and pythons!

After the zoo, we headed to the beach close to where we live, Picnic Point. It was windy and cool but full of sunshine! Played in the sand. Threw rocks in the water and ate snacks.
This evening the FedEx guy delivered a horse for Johari from her Grandpa in Montana. Very cool. She rode around on her horse tonight. She has been a naked bundle of fun this evening.

Bedhead that lasted all day. And I kind of like what the bed did this time.

Do olives have any nutritional value? Johari loves them. She can feast on some Kalmata olives. I didn't start liking olives until I was about 30! I guess I was just in time to love olives along with Johari. The other afternoon, she only wanted to snack on olives and popcorn!
