Julia's 4th birthday

So spoiled with gifts from my family.  Thank you to everyone who sent me a gift!

Heading into the city and a visit to the zoo.  What a gorgeous sunny day.

Mmmmm!  Lunch at Pizza Express.

Dessert AND a babychino?  Wow!!

Eating birthday cupcakes with the monkeys.

Baby pineapples.  Is that what the plant in our garden will grow to be?

 Julia climbs up on a rock and says, Take my picture!

 Then she climbs onto another.

 Then Ella gets in on the action.  We could have spent all day on these rocks....

 I guess they have a problem with bathroom pervs in Taipei?
