Zoo Madness!

Ben and I finally got to the zoo today and it was CRAZY busy! The new African Journey opens to the public tomorrow and members could get a sneak peek today. It seems as if everyone in the city of Ft. Wayne is a member and wanted to get to the zoo right when it opened. The main parking lot was full when we arrived, which has never happened to me on a weekday. People were everywhere!


As we waited in the African Journey, I snapped a pic of part of the line behind us. It's hard to tell but the line winds around and goes a LONG ways. It was slow going through this part. Ben did a great job being patient. The line we had to follow through seemed long, but it was nothing compared to what was behind us still waiting to get through. It will be nice to see this part of the zoo again when it's not crowded.

Ben loved watching the giraffes. This part wasn't as congested, so we were able to sit and watch them for a while. It will be fun to feed them someday!



Ben getting friendly with the orangutan statue. I tried to get him to sit by it, but that didn't happen. :)



Ben seems to love this komodo dragon (we sit by it each time we come to the zoo). Today, the dragon was resting right by the glass.


Playing in part of the train. He kept saying, "Choo! Choo!" It was so cute.

Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.  Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!  Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.  Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!  The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.  Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)  My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben ...

The Big 3-0!

Today I turned 30 years old. I didn't think that it would make me feel old, but it kinda does. :) I had a wonderful birthday. Curt went out and got us donuts for breakfast. Then, I got to open my presents. He did a great job shopping and I love everything he picked out! For lunch we went out to Olive Garden and then stopped by the mall for a little while. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I hope this getting older doesn't mean that gray hairs are going to start showing up! While I got ready this morning, Curt got out his old car track. He hasn't used it in many years, so he wasn't sure if it would work. Ben loved watching the cars race around the track. We enjoyed eating lunch at Olive Garden. Ben was too interested in coloring to look up at the camera. I love cheesecake for my birthday and Curt made this one for me all by himself. It is a chocolate chip recipe that is one of my favorites. He only added one candle per decade...we didn't ...
