We went to the zoo to see the new parts of the Africa Rocks section, but it turned out that they didn’t have many more animals on display. I think all the animals were getting acclimated to their new homes. We did manage to see a few honey badgers and some vervet monkeys.

The boys have to keep their skills sharp, even though it is the off-season.

The boys had lots of fun playing with the dogs at our traditional Thanksgiving gathering at the Loera house. Papi and Reina came down from Phoenix and brought their two dogs and a friend’s puppy.

The food was delicious, with both a ham and turkey, and all the traditional sides like my favorite: green bean casserole.

We spent a nice lazy Saturday at Balboa Park. First, we explored a new collection at the Nat. The had all sorts of stuff from their archives on display.

Next, we decided to get some fresh air, so we headed over to the beautiful Japanese Friendship Garden. It was so peaceful among the koi fish and waterfalls.
