Ok where to start. Scott is finally finished with all of his work travels and came home. My mom's extended visit (that went super fast) ended on Friday afternoon. I want to take a minute to thank my mom for all she did. My mom is amazing! She came for three weeks while Scott was out of town. She was slated to stay for two weeks but then I started getting more chest pains and she extended her trip so I wouldn't have to be a single mom and sick. She watched the boys while I worked at the church. She did all of the laundry, dishes, etc. She was an absolute lifesaver. Besides all of the work she did, we had such a good time together. I really wished she lived closer. The boys adore her and we miss her already! Thank you so much mom for all that you do!!!!
A few hours after she left, Scott's parents came in. Yesterday was "Farmer's Day" at the LA Zoo. So with Scott's badge, we got in for a very discounted price. We also didn't have to wait in the huge line and we got a free walking tour. The boys are very happy to have Scott home. They missed him dearly.
This Komodo dragon laid 28 eggs last year. 26 of them hatched! And one of the ones that died in the shell had two heads. There were only 5 babies left at this zoo because they are in high demand from other zoos. Well right after her babies were shipped off, they just found another 24 eggs! She is a very busy lady!!!
Funny story about the Giraffes. They recently sent one of their giraffe's to the Santa Barbara zoo. That is the zoo we regularly visit and I post about. Well the day after they dropped her off, the new baby giraffe (that I posted about last week) was born. Neither zoo knew the other giraffe was pregnant. They went in to check on the LA Zoo giraffe and there was a new baby there just waiting :) How funny is that?!
Here is where things get interesting. We skipped lunch at the zoo and decided to head to our favorite restaurant, Los Torros. On the way, Scott's dad asked, "how many miles are on this truck." We have had really good luck with the truck for having 157,000 miles on it. Well not two minutes later, we broke down!!!! Our transmission went out! So we had to call a tow truck and a cab. The boys really enjoyed seeing our truck on a tow truck and daddy in the front seat. It was a nightmare. We broke down in not the nicest area and then had to wait forever. We did make it to Los Torros but hours after we planned. And Harry was happy that Fernando was there to sing him the Chicken Dance :)
It was an exhausting day which explains why I actually went to sleep before 10pm!
