Addie's 20th Birthday

Our oldest daughter's 20th birthday was on August 2nd. :) Why do they have to grow up? This is Addie at 4 yrs. old on her last day of kindergarten.

Autumn and Summer decorated the house with a dinosaur theme.

She wanted to go to the Jacksonville Zoo for her birthday, so we did that. :)

Summer's face. Ha!

Addie-20, Summer-12, Autumn-17, Sierra-15

Can you see us melting in the heat and humidity?

We finally saw an alligator.

It was a little creepy. Ha!

Coyotes. They were pretty ferocious on their dog houses. LOL!

Black bear.

We had packed a lunch to eat. It would have been nice to have picnic tables available for those like us. We had to eat on the ground and we were invaded by ants.

Again, Summer's face.

Stingray Bay.

Monkeys and apes.

Ha!

The river

The girls bought mini dinosaur stuffed animals. Each is a different kind and different color.

Bamboo

The tiger looks pretty much like my cat sleeping. Ha!

The second tiger

Goodbye Jacksonville Zoo

Addie's favorite meal is tater-topped sausage egg bake. So that is what I made.

We then had five minute cheesecake and opened cards and gifts.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan
