Last Friday was my 15th Birthday. For the day, we went to the Zoo and then to a Lighthouse. We all had a very fun time and Sarah Lu just LOVED seeing all the animals!Me and Sarah with the Lion

The lion up-close!

Sarah made "friends" with the goose and chased it around!

Chrissy and Sarah with the Giraffe

Daddy was walking ahead of us, so Sarah Lu ran up to him as fast as she could saying, "Daddy! Wait!" And then hugged him once she caught up! Too sweet!!

Sarah looking at the birds

"WOW!"

I hope she doesn't drop her juice in the water!
(Don't worry, she didn't...although, I was very scared that she was going to!)

Sarah likes to watch Animal Planet's Meerkat Manor, so when she saw these "Mousies" she was SO happy!"Look at the Mousies, Yashi!!"Me with my absolute worst fear...Alligators!
Thankfully, it was NOT real!

2 cute little fox!

And of course, Sarah and Yashi too!

Did someone say, "Hands and Feet"?

Almost all of us at the Lighthouse

Sarah found this little "thing" and decided that she needed her picture taken on it...
Hmm...kind of reminds me of THIS picture taken in China...
She did pretty much the same thing, showed us that she wanted her picture taken with it!
Too cute!

And of course, Me and Lilly decided we should get a picture on Sarah Lu's "thing" too! :)

*NOTE: Videos from the day coming soon. After uploading all these pics, I am pretty 'uploaded-out' for now, but I will get the videos up soon.

Also on my birthday, our friends gave birth to a beautiful baby girl!
They named her Rachael!
She was 6lbs, 9 oz, 20 inches long. We got to meet her the next day!!Isn't she just one of the most beautiful babies ever?
I can't wait until Sarah Lu and Baby Rachael can play!
I know they will be good friends!
Sarah Lu is already talking about Baby Rachael non-stop!
