Jr. Safari

This was my outfit Sunday morning...

There was actually an inspiration photo that goes with this but didn't take the photo of it. I like the combination of mint green and black...

Layered a beaded necklace with the artsy bottle cap owl necklace and a long key charm necklace...

I really enjoyed feeding the deers...

SUNDAY's ACTIVITIES: The camp woke us up at 6:30 PM. It was so cool to wake up to all the animal sounds and to step out overlooking a vast vista where you see Giraffe's and Rhino's and cranes walking in the distance. I have to admit as a person who has spent a week on Safari in Kenya, Africa, this scene was very similar and that has to be a huge compliment to the San Diego wild animal park for getting it right. My son really enjoyed overlooking that view as I packed our bags.

We had a nice hearty breakfast and went on our morning hike by 7:45 AM. This time we went to the lower part of the park to feed the ducks and see couple presentations and more interesting and unique animals up and close.

Then the Roar and Snore event concluded and we met my husband and daughter to start a whole new event of 'Behind the Scenes Safari' which was geared towards kids under 6. It was a bit boring for us but the kids liked it. Once they turn 6 we can do the real caravan safari. This Jr one included going behind the scenes of some small animal enclosures and feeding the animals.

We concluded that by noon and had lunch at the park before coming back home. After almost 48 hours at that park I was done. The entire family took a 2 hour nap! Spent the afternoon at home getting settled.

With my son at 6:30 in the morning!

Starting our Safari with the whole family...

The golf cart was our transportation...

Kids decorated their hats with stickers before the tour started but the hats kept falling so they didn't wear them when the tour started...

Petting Deers

My daughter loved feeding them while my son dropped the food the minute the animal's tongue touched his hand... 

 

Behind the scenes with the Meerkats and feeding them live worms!

Feeding catfish which I had no idea they had in those waters...

Here are the hidden catfish coming to surface once they saw/smell the food...

More funky animal exposures. I have already forgotten the name of this one...

LOOK OF THE WEEK!

Hi Everyone,
I was selected for the 'Look of the Week' by the The Wear To Go Girls!

And it was my high waist pants outfit that I wasn't sure if it looked OK...

Gleaming Inspiration Monday

Posting totally out of order since I want to get in today's outfit for participating in the  

Inspiration Monday event hosted by the Two Birds Blog.

Here was their photo for this Monday of Brooklyn Decker:

 

So my take on this outfit was a light denim shirt paired with a glittery mini skirt. So here it goes:

This is the tucker skirt from Target. I have worn it once and have one other combo in my list so was happy to use it today. It is quite dressy but when paired with a denim shirt I think it works for the day...

This thin denim shirt has sleeves that can be rolled up and buttoned so works great for summer....

Close-up of the skirt's material:

These shoes looked very similar to the one in the inspiration photo:

Denim Shirt - from Turkey

Skirt - Tucker for Target

Shoes - Newport News

Necklace - Nordstrom Rack

Today's Activities: It was the last day of preschool today. Not that it means much since we'll be starting summer session next Wednesday. But we did have to empty our cubbies and take all the art work that was hanging on the walls home. My daughter once again threw a huge tantrum over a cookie that was given after class. After half the tantrum, I gave in and gave her her cookie before she finished her food. Then she went on for 25 minutes of non stop crying over my son's cookie. My son never went through this stage even at her age as he has always been very easy to reason with and very advanced in comprehension. So I always feel helpless and don't know what to do when she does this. In short we had to cut lunch short and come home.
After naps my parents came over to play with the kids...
Later today I will post 'SUNDAY's outfit and photos... Like I said out of order today...
