Thirteen!

How is it possible that K is a teenager?

Her birthday week started with a weekend in Atlanta, dinner at Mo Mo Ya with Olivia and getting her braces on.  The braces explain why she is not smiling.

Birthday cupcakes with sparkers that were a one and a three.  You cannot tell in the pictures.  Glad that I did not burn the house down.

Dinner out with Dallas BFF Ava.

Big Cats

Saturday was a beautiful, warm sunny day so K and I took a road trip to east Texas to Tyler Creek Wildlife Refuge.  This refuge takes care of big cats that have been abandoned or abused.  The facility was amazing.  The animals are so well cared for.  We took a half hour tour and we learned so much about the animals.  Our guide was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the animals.  

This tiger was very feisty.  She waned to get into the cage next door and raised up on her back legs and growled when the tiger next door came near her cage.  She also growled and paced when she saw a baby in a wagon.  Glad for strong cages.
