There are a handful more of pictures on my flickr if you care to see more of the animals.
Once home from the zoo Brad started working on making delicious chicken stir fry and I made a cake with strawberry filling.
I am not too happy with the appearance. I bought sweet gum paste to make the hinamatsuri emperor and empress, but it was too hard to even get it out of the package. I tried water, vegetable oil, and low heat. But nothing would soften the hard brick. I saw recipes to make sweet gum paste online so next year I think I will make my own. As a consolation Brad ran to the store and got us a special drink. Because what goes better with a strawberry-filled white hinamatsuri cake than strawberry daiquiri wine coolers

Happy Birthday!!! I <3 the otter.
Hiyoko: Thank you! The otters were terribly adorable! Brad and I could have stayed all day at the otter enclosure. The one otter had to have done 20+ backflips while we were there.
Happy Birthday! <3
26 is a good age! Don't even worry about it for another 10 years. ^^
Winsome: Thank you! I will have to remember that 27-35 are not so detrimental. That is as long as people still think I am younger than I actually am.
happy birthday!
the cake looks really pretty but that's prolly cos I love strawberries hehe xD
RiA SPiRAL: Thank you! I'm glad you thought my cake looked good. It definitely tasted very good. Although I wish I could have decorated it more.
Oh, I am late to wish you, but happy belated birthday dear. And as you are 26 now, so you are more mature and more beautiful then last years. So I want to wish all the happiness and prosperity to you in your life.
Happy belated birthday dear. So you have celebrated your 26th birthday, and so do I. That is just a perfect feeling to think that you are now a mature and independent lady, and now you can understand your self better then yesterday. Happy birthday again
Oh, this cake looks so cute! And I love Seagram's X3 Hapy (now belated) birthday! ♥
diamond engagement rings: Thank you so much for your well wishes!
answering services: Happy 26th birthday to you too! Thank you. I am still learning about myself everyday.
Miss Lumpy: Thank you! If the sweet gum had not been completely dry the cake would have been cuter. Seagram's was prefect with the cake.
