  • Then he threw shrimp at my face...

    It has been such a hectic day! We were supposed to go to the zoo early this morning but again, guess who was being slow?! I was ready right on time and 3 hours later we were just pulling up to Matt’s to leave for the zoo. Alexa, Jenna, Ari, Shay, and me had all crammed into one car so Matt was going to drive the jeep. Whenever someone has to ride in the jeep it always ends up being me. That’s ok though. I’m a jeep kind of girl. I want one someday. It was over 100 degrees (literally) so the zoo was way hot at first. Thankfully they have these little water mister things but it was still pretty bad. We saw the baby elephant and the rhino came right up the window to see us. I got to the otter tank and we had to stay a minute. They are so cute! When I see an otter I’m like that girl from Despicable Me when she sees a unicorn. I love them so much! After the otters Alexa practically ran to the polar bear enclosure because Rizzo just got a new swimming pool and she is obsessed with polar bears. The new Rocky Shores exhibit is amazing. I wish I lived there. It inspired a bunch of stories within the first five min. of being there. They hav bald eagles sam and betsy, the freakin adorable otters nick and nellie, the grizzly bears koda, lou lou, and I forget the other ones name, rizzo the polar bear and the sea lions maverick, and big guy, hudson the seal...so many cute animals. Rizzo is a big show off. If she sees people sitting by a certain window she’ll dive underwater and swim right past them or swim and pop up right at the window in front of all the little kids. I put a video of her doing it on my youtube

    We saw the giraffes and a cute little skunk curled up in his blanket. I don't know what it is about sleeping skunks but I love them. Maybe it's their pink noses or soft little smiles. Ah, so cute. I saw the wolves for the first time at the zoo. They are always hiding when I go. I love them! When I was younger wolves were my favorite animals. I was obsessed with them! I had wolves on everything and I did one of those adopt a wolf things every year where you donate money to save them and you get a picture and stuff. I should do that again….

     

    Anyway, it got overcast so it felt good and the animals really came out. The zoo was fun but I had to rush home because I was late for a dinner meeting. We went to this nice place called Tepanyaki. The tables are huge because they have a grill thing right there built in to the table. The cook comes out and makes the food right there in front of you. He was throwing knives around and he made a fire so big I thought he was going to burn my eyebrows off. He even made a flaming volcano out of an onion. I don’t know how you make an onion spout flames like a blow torch but he did it. The food was really good. At the end the cook was throwing shrimp at everybody to catch with their mouths. I told him I couldn’t catch but he threw it to me anyway. It zipped right past me and smacked into the wall. Then it fell on the floor next to the cooler. :-/ fail!

     

    I got a new phone as a birthday present. I have a love/hate relationship with it right now. I hate that I don’t know how to use it and it has already caused me more than a few embarrassing moments in the short time that I have had it. On the flip side I love that it does so many things and I think it will be really useful once I figure out how to use it. So if you get in weird texts, files, pictures, etc. or you call and I can’t seem to find the right button to answer don’t be annoyed. I’m not avoiding you, I just don’t know how to use a phone that doesn’t have an antennae on it ;)
