Central Florida Zoo

We spent the morning at the Central Florida Zoo. A lot of the animals were busy eating. It was neat watching the giraffe slurp up the lettuce leaves with his huge tongue!

Although we’ve been to zoos before, this is the first time we ever saw a warthog!

The Zoo was setup for their Aisan Lantern Festival night light display, but that required separate admission and tickets were all sold out for the week that we were in Orlando.

Golf

We picked up Matthew after lunch and headed to the Stoneybrook West golf course. The men played a 9 hole game of best ball due to the wide range of golfing capabilities while the women watched and provided encouragement.

With no players behind us on the last hole, Maureen even got to try a tee off shot. Of course after the final tally, Wei-Shen was the overall winner – not only did he have the best score, but he also had the longest drive, the longest putt, and the most best ball shots.

After a dinner of Christmas potluck leftovers at the condo, the three of us took a short walk for dessert to Wei-Shen’s favorite spot – Jerimiah’s Italian Ice.
