    San Francisco Zoo Kilted

    We went to the zoo today, mostly kilted. I did NOT wear either one of my mini kilts, seeing as it was very windy and chilly. As usual, someone must wear the pants in the family!



    It was a lot of fun to just stand back and watch people watching Panache and the kids go by. I heard a lot of ,"Look! It's a Scottish family!", and several folks who sort of looked askance at Panache, who then warmed up as soon as they saw the kids.





    There was a warm air vent in the Rainforest area, that did a passable Marilyn Monroe...



    This shows it a little better-ain't he cute?



    The animals didn't mind the kilts as long as you had food! Here's Panache, thinking, "How hard is it to shear the sheep, for a true DIY experience?"



    Xena just wants to touch them all



    Our little one, all worn out on the way home



    All in all, we had a great time, despite (or perhaps because of) the wind. I've found that when we go out on a windy day, it's best if I walk close behind my husband to catch the kilt before the wind gets too revealing!

    Be well,

    Thank you for the pictures, F-HCAG. It's nice to see you having a fine (kilted) family outing. It brings back memories for me.

    My first response was how does a zoo get Kilted?

    Of course my humor is a bit off.

    Fantastic photos!!!

    I love the one of you feeding the sheep Panache - gives me the idea of the caption:

    Gee, and I thought it was the marriage that gives the "Seven Year Itch," not the wool in the kilt...



    Great pictures! Looks as though it was a super outing!

    Ditto on that! My youngest son has no interest. Great family outing pics.
