Cool Run

K-bao found herself in Phoenix recently on a hot, sunny day. The temperature was approaching 100 and the glaring rays were burning off not only the family's thick layer of sunscreen but the K-folks' thin layer of patience.

Suddenly, the little one spied some water sprinklers. Before the K-folks knew it, the shoes were off and she was racing around through the cool jet streams. 

Relief at last!

Thrills

For a 4-year old, K-bao is a bit of a thrill seeker.

She's never seen a hill which she doesn't want to run down. And as K-Mum can attest, even before age 2 she loved going down steep slides, such as the ones at Yerba Buena near our home back then.

Recently she's fallen in love with roller coasters, and is finally tall enough to qualify for the ones at both Happy Hollow and Oakland Zoo.

Below are some action videos of recent rides at each. In the first one, which was the first time she's been on a roller coaster of any kind for a while, there are 5 seconds of abject terror (between 0:09 and 0:14) which she gets over a few seconds later, enough to throw up her hands in delight by 0:20.

Zoo

K-bao spent the day today at the famed San Diego Zoo checking out whether it lives up to the hype.

First, a power breakfast of oatmeal and fruit at The Broken Yolk:

Talking to the elephants, and then offering them a blueberry:



Waving to every Tom, Dick and Harry passing us on the Skyfari aerial tram:
