So this year for my birthday we decided to go to the zoo in Portland. It took us about an hour and 45 minutes to get there. The zoo was nice and we got to see a year old baby elephant that weighted 275 at birth and was about 1400 pounds yesterday!? could you imagine giving birth to a 275 pound baby? thats crazy! at least adey was only 9 pounds. She did so great at the zoo. we were there for about 6 to 7 hours and she honestly did not cry once! She rode in the baby carrier the whole time and took maybe 2 naps that were not more then 30 minutes each. the downside to that is she was cranky in the car on the way home because she was so overly tired and couldn't fall asleep! Before we headed back to Olympia, Josh took me to a nice Thai dinner in Portland. He had some kind of fish that came out looking like a sailboat. I had wonderful fried rice with chicken. Once we got home we took oskar for a long walk around our neighborhood since he had been in the kennel for 12 hours. I had a wonderful day yesterday with my family whom I love very much!
Today we stayed home from church and in our pajama's. Josh let me sleep in and cleaned up the house a little and made me breakfast (biscuits, eggs, gravy, grape juice, and hot chocolate). For my birthday he got me a nice hair straightener, a necklace, a coupon for a pair of shoes of my choice, a few scrapbook stickers, pink nail polish, ritter sports chocolate, and a beautiful card! I would say I am quite spoiled! for my birthday dinner he is going to make me my favorite: home made alfredo sauce with cheese tortellini. yum! not sure what we are doing for dessert. We are going to watch some movies later and go for a nice long walk as today is supposed to be one of our last warmer sunny days. You can tell the winter time is coming around here. Our leaves are changing fast and the temperature is dropping! This is one of the things I don't care for around here in washington...the rainy season!
enjoy the pics from our new camera from the zoo and the past few days...
