Dad and daughter prepared lunch for our Saturday outing. Jasmine made a ham sandwich with mustard, ketchup and mayonnaise. Dad made a bean salad and washed several bunches of grapes. Jasmine was helpful in eating the stragglers that escaped from the vine.
We headed to Washington Park for our picnic. Jasmine picked the spot, which was facing the playground swings where she could watch the other kids play. After lunch, she joined in trying out the swings, monkey bars, slides, and the high bars.
We then headed to the zoo to checkout the new African exhibit. The place was a zoo of people since it was opening weekend for the new attraction. We luckily found a close parking spot. The new digs were nice but many animals seemed to be missing or hiding. We then visited some of Jasmine’s favorites spots such as the naked mole rats and the fruit bats.
