Last weekend

Well this last weekend was John's work annual company picnic. This year we went to the Point Defiance Zoo, and had a scavenger hunt and catered lunch. It was a lot of fun.  Jared and I were sick, but we did not know how sick, till we both started to feel crummy by the afternoon. Lets get on with the picts ;)

On the hunt, we had to go around the zoo in less than an hour, and find all of the rainbow letters. We got all but one. Not to shabby.  We were also suppose to be creative in our picture taking. We were in a group with John's co-worker Samson, and his fiance Sarah. They are a sweet couple.  We enjoyed being in the group with them. They are getting married Sept. 10th.

                                                                       Flying like birds.

                                  This was at the polar bear spot, and we were supposed to be cold...

                                          We were by the walrus, and I let Jared take the picture.

                                 John was the only one to remember to do the Elephant trunk LOL

 This was right by the new baby clouded leopard cubs, we came back to look at them later, they were very     cute, but pictures did not turn out so good.

This was at the carousel, which the boys rode after, but no pict of that ether, by then I was toast...

After lunch which was really good, the zoo brought in two animals for us to look at up close. This bird was beautiful and NOT an owl. I forgot right now what he was. Still fun to get to see up close.

 Caution! the next one might make some of you squirm. It was a non venomous snake, also amazing creature.

 The Owners of the Roman Meal Company, Chuck and Helen Matthaei, are such lovely people. They had made a donation to the Zoo for the Garden next to the Carousel.

 As we were leaving the Zoo, walking back to the car these two fawns were grassing on the lawn outside the gates of the zoo.

Jared's tummy was bothering him, but Nick was enjoying a root beer float. A nice treat to end the lovely day. I just wish Jared and I felt better. But we went to see the doctor, got some meds and are on the mend.

I also have to share how excited and surprised I was, when I got a message, on my Etsy account that someone had seen my recycled bag necklace, and wanted to post it in her blog. I was honored. She has great ideas on her blog to reuse things, here is her link

I'm also super excited about my first real home show for Two Branches Jewelry on Sept. 16th! I have so many great things planned like, hostess rewards, classes, custom work. I pray that it be good, and people will have fun. Well it is really way passed my bed time. Have a blessed week all.
