Visitors!

My longtime friend Johanna and her son Calder paid us a visit this past week. Johanna's husband Jeff works in Recreational Therapy and will sometimes be gone for weeks at a time, so she drove down here for an impromptu vacation while he was away. I took Friday off and we ventured down to the San Diego zoo.
Jo, Calder and some mini-warthogs.

Me and a capibara, although this photo does neither of us much justice. They are the world's largest rodent, and Chris saw a lot of them in Brazil. He tells me that they make these barking/snorting sounds so we are understandably obsessed with them.

My favorite rodent of unusual size.

We had a grand time at the zoo and perfect weather. It was great to see Jo, and Calder is such a happy kid--charming and so much fun to be around. I'm so glad they could come visit!

Thanks for the latest update.
Is it okay if we call that one picture "Beauty and the Beast"?

Hooray for you and Jo and Calder and the capibaras! So glad you had fun. So - Johanna made it back in one piece and Calder managed the trip ok?

The zoo is so glorious. Did you see the panda bears?
