Today was a busy day. We started with some less exciting mount and pet hunting in WoW. This quickly changed though. We went to the Irvine Regional Park to celebrate Carrie’s birthday. We did have to leave again to get and then come back, but the woman let us in the second time without making us pay again. Yay us.
We met some of Carrie’s friends, and everyone seemed nice. Then we headed to the Orange County Zoo that’s in the park. We had no idea it existed. There were a few boring animals, a bunch of animals we thought we were cool, and two SUPER COOL BEARS. Why do zoos even keep other animals once they get bears? I don’t know. They were adorable. Sadly, can’t hug every bear.
Then it was lunch time. Burgers, potato salad, and fried rice. Delicious. Once our lunch time was done, it was time to go back to the zoo because 3:00 was lunch time for the bears. Some zoo employees gave a talk about bears while they were being fed. They got some tasty assorted fruits and vegetables. The bears were so excited to be fed! Their names were Nacho and YoYo, and they munched everything happily.
After we said our goodbyes, we headed to a family party. A lot of Pete’s family members were there, many of whom I had never met previously. Those I had met before I didn’t remember. The meal starred tacos but had a huge supporting cast. I’m quite full now. We also got a few rounds of horseshoes into the evening. The game’s very fun!
The full moon was the biggest and brightest of the year tonight, so we took a look at that too. It appeared large and bright, sure, but not amazingly so. Then again, I guess it was only supposed to be 14% larger and brighter.
All in all, a great Cinco de Mayo.
