Quinceanera and Zoo

Stephen and I went to a Quinceanera Fiesta on Friday.  This is a very typical celebration in South America, where they celebrate the coming out of a young woman.  The food was incredible.  The decorations were beautiful.  Pamela was gorgeous.  The program was fun.  And best of all, I got a ROSE!

Rose

There is a part where the young woman presents her 15 roses to 15 special people in her life.  As she gave one to each person, she had the DJ read the little write up about why she selected that person.  I was excited to have been there.  She is such a sweetheart.  (I also kinda felt like I was on the “Bachelor” being selected to receive a rose)

Then on Saturday we went to the zoo AGAIN!  Stephen hadn’t been for awhile and wanted to see the Rocky Mountain addition and chair lift ride.  As soon as he said, “chair lift ride” the kids were ready to go.  Actually just saying the zoo, the kids were excited.  We had a fun day hanging out together.

Rebecca and Jerrica kept us on course.
