To the Zoo!!!

Hello everyone! Mommy and Nanny wanted to go to a flower show today. I was kind of bored, so Daddy took me and Jake to the zoo next door! The zoo was really hot but really better than the boring flower show! First we saw lots of flamingos, then we saw alligators and turtles. Then we saw this lion and Daddy took our picture standing right next to it! When Mommy saw the picture she almost had a heart attack. Good thing she wasn't there! I'm making a lion face in this picture. A group of girls kept following us around the zoo. I guess they don't see foreigners very often. They frustrated me because I wanted them to stop following me! Jacob talked to the girls, but he was scared of the lion. After the lion we fed an ostrich with lettuce on a stick. After all that we were really tired so we went back to the flower show, got Mommy and Nanny and went home.

Cairo what?!?!?!?!

Mommy, Daddy, Jakey and I went to visit Old Cairo. Sometimes they call it Coptic Cairo, because it has a lot of Coptic Churches. Coptic people are a kind of Christian people, and they have been in Cairo forever! We went into a castle that had been turned into a museum, and the ceilings in there were pretty cool. We saw a book of psalms that was 1300 years old!! That's older than Grandad!!! Then we saw a church where Jesus hid with his family when he was a baby. It was really old too and really dark. Then we walked down some really old streets, and there was a shop that had this really cool King Tut so Daddy took a picture of me standing by it.

The Birthday Bash!

Jacob had his fifth birthday party last weekend. It was very wacky! Look how crazy Jacob and I are on the bouncy castle!! Arrrrrrrr!!!!!!! We built life-size legos really really tall and then smashed them down. We had pizza and birthday cake, and then I went to my friend Ronnie's house to play.
