Kids and Kids of Kids

Flamingos greeted us at Sacramento Zoo
Summayeh and Grandma Kathy
 We headed to Sacramento to visit Sara, Yousef and the grandkids. We'd not met Summayeh yet and she is 1! Sulayman is 3.  With no TV, we were all busy interacting - reading, playing, preparing food, eating.  Sleep came easy for us all.
Sacramento has proclaimed themselves as the country's most socially diverse city. This seems believable as we found a large number of various nationalities of Hispanics and a very active community of Muslims from many countries.  Per census info: 45% White, 18% Asian, 15% Black, 27% Hispanic.
Food choices are fun in that you have the same diversity in restaurants and groceries. Sara did a great job keeping all of us fed with healthy, home-cooked meals.


Happy Grandpa

Busy Sara



YEAH!!! It doesnt stop..
















Grandpa is busy











Sulayman waiting for us to catch up



 We headed to the Sacramento Zoo.  The lion roars could be heard throughout the zoo making us wonder if they had a microphone around their neck.
Our favorite animals to watch were the small monkeys. There was a batch of babies who were so goofy that we, and everyone else who watched, were cracking up.
