My Birthday

So as you might know (I think I've told you in another post), I love the zoo so very very very very much. I love seeing animals. It would be a life dream to go on a safari.

Anyways. This year for my birthday, we went to the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City, Utah.

It was super duper fun. They just opened up a new area in the zoo (however, they were renovating some other parts of the zoo...)

Well, here are the pictures I took while we were there.

Now.. does this NOT look like the made up animal in Alice in Wonderland that scoops dirt with it's beak?

I submitted this photo to National Geographic. Who knows how long it takes to look over pictures and pick some... so I may or may not get it published either in their magazine or online. (but I'll make sure to let you know if it does)

The pond with the ducks was SO yucky. But this swan was gorgeous.

After the Zoo, we headed over to the Rodizio Grill!

Here is the first picture I've ever taken on Instagram! I love it so very much! I think it's awesome and it makes me want to get into commercial photography.

Here is my absolute favorite thing to eat at Rodizio....

Grilled pineapple.

I hate pineapple but this.. I love so very much.

It was an amazing birthday and I thank my husband for making it so much fun!
