It's been a while since my last post. I've had some uploading problems. Sam's birthday was April 13th (Easter Monday). We ended up having wonderful weather and a great day! The whole weekend was great, I might try to post some pictures from it soon too.
I started that morning by hiding all of Sam's presents around the house and gave him clues so he could find his gifts. Who doesn't love a treasure hunt? That afternoon we went to Bloedel Conservatory at Queen Elizabeth Park - the highest point in the city. It was gorgeous! They had all sorts of birds and plants and flowers. It was amazing. We ended up having lunch and wine at the restaurant there that had an amazing view of the city and the mountains. The cherry blossoms are out right now too which just makes my jaw drop every time I walk around our streets. But I think they go as fast as they come. (Oh, Sam also taught me how to make daisy chains while we sat in the park, it's really fun, ha!) That night we went to dinner at an awesome asian fusion place right near our house that we love. We had dessert there and I had them put a big "30" candle in it (fried bananas and chocolate!). Once we got home we played our favorite game - Rummikub and had another dessert...the candles didn't hold their flame long but I think Sam was a happy 30 year old and had a great day, as did I!
