the remaking of a kitchen

after we returned home, it was time to prepare dinner and an early celebration of david's birthday. we had roasted root vegetables and marinated pork tenderloin. sarah made a delicious salad and the piece de resistance: banana cream pie. it was pretty fabulous and david loved it. later in the evening we had a snack of strawberry ice cream to cap it off!




we took a field trip to the como park zoo and conservatory gardens and it was great fun. david found the source of como popcorn, so we had a snack as we wandered. we saw all the primates and fell in love with the mostachioed tamarins.....truly sweet looking little guys. we saw lions, tigers, giraffes and zebras and some kudus who were also pretty cute. just a beautiful patterned hide. siena liked most of the animals and the fish too. we went into the gardens too, some of which were incredibly steamy.....really jungle like. the blooming flowers were lovely and we finally found a functioning fountain which was a treat for siena!
