Birthday boy. Yes his hair is green and yes, that is a Diego Cake.

Now I'm expecting him to announce any day that he doesn't like Diego anymore.

We met up with my very old friend (not in age just in time knowing her) Sally, her children and her niece Dallas--who I didn't even recognize-at the Henry Vilas zoo on Monday! Holy crap--does time fly. She's grown into a beautiful young lady! Anyways, here is my future scientist examining things.
