A day at the zoo

We had a family day at the zoo so the first thing we had to do is make lunch then off to the zoo
everybody on to the train for a quick tour
it happened to be a special day at the zoo so there was a clown there
and they had face painting for the kids 

Malcolm had a good time although at times he was not to sure what was happening
Noah was waiting for lunch
It was a tiring day and a rest in the shade was needed by some...
while Sabrina and Noah had lots of energy 

Garden Stuff

This sunflower would not stop growing as you can see it is almost 10 feet tall
and whenever I go into the garden my two helpers are never far behind
This is the second year I have grown this interesting and edible plant anybody know what it is? Yes I know what it is.. just wondering if anybody else does. And yes I also know that our life needs more excitement when all I can blog about is garden stuff.
