This weekend was a busy one for us! On Friday, the 12th, Becky had a doctor's appointment where we found out how much she weighed and such. She now, at four months, is 15 pounds, 10 ounces and is 25-1/2 inches long. She also had to get her shots which was horrible, as always! But she did really good this time. She cried when she got the shots but she stopped crying pretty quick and was only unhappy off and on for the remainder of that one day. Last time it took her a couple days to get over them. Anyway, she is as healthy as can be! Oh, and she finally growing some hair - not a ton or anything, but her hair is growing. =)

On Saturday, the 13th, we did a bunch of things together since Richard had the whole day off. We went to the Sierra Safari Zoo in Red Rock and we saw all kinds of animals there. To name a few - there was: a camel, lion, tiger (white), liger, buffalo, hyena, a couple wallabies, some huge snakes, a Zebra, and some Baboons. There were a number of other animals too, but too many to name them all. In one section of the zoo you actually get to walk around inside the cage with some deer. They are extremely friendly animals! They like to chew on anything they can. They chewed on our shirts, pant-legs, Becky's shoes, and they even went after her pacifier. And they would follow us around the cage as we looked at the other animals. They were quite funny!



Saturday evening, after the zoo, we went to the Basque Monument by Rancho San Rafael. There is a tall statue there of a shepherd carrying a sheep and then a wall of names that the site was dedicated to - I had Richard take some pictures of a few so that I can see if I'm related to them. There was also a little map that showed all the early Basque settlements in the United States. It was pretty neat. After the Basque Monument, we went to IHOP (International House of Pancakes) and had some dinner! It was very yummy! And then, after dinner we went and rented a movie to finish out the day. We rented What Women Want, with Mel Gibson and Helen Hunt. We had a great weekend!



(And just as a sidenote - I have to talk about this song I used to sing when I was in 4th grade. I have to put it in here because Richard can't get the song out of his head and he thinks it's funny - and I loved it too! When I was in 4th grade, my teacher taught us all kinds of music and poetry. Just little kid stuff, but it was great fun to us! And one of the songs that we liked to sing was called - Señor Don Gato. It was a very silly little song and we never performed it for anyone but we loved to sing it in class as a treat after we finished our school work for the day! It was great! Richard is going to attach a link to the song title so that you can see the words if you would care to. We sang the English version. =)
