Cleveland Zoo.

Pictures from our day trip to the Cleveland Zoo.




**Do Not Feed the Construction Workers** :D A new exhibit being built for the elephants. Expected finished date: 2011.
















































The sea lion exhibit, which was beautiful! Unfortunately the sea lions had just gone inside and we didn't get to see them. :(








Yes, these are just a *few* of the pictures from our day at the zoo! We saw lots of beautiful animals and Leia had a very good time. :) We all had a good time!

So there are TONS of pictures left to share!! :) But I can't do them all at the same time obviously.

Today we took a day of rest and Fredrik and I went to see the new X-Men movie (Wolverine), and tomorrow we are leaving bright and early for KY. We'll be back late on Wednesday. Then Thursday we'll be spending the day with Carie and Lillie. :)) Yay! So, here's wishing Carie and Lillie a nice flight tomorrow! And hoping we have a safe and looooong drive. :)

Leaving for PA.

Today we had an absolutely wonderful day at the zoo! :) We went to the Cleveland Zoo and saw some very happy animals. Leia loved it! And every animal was a "cat" and says "roof roof" -- even the giraffs! :)) Then we had dinner at the most delicious hot dog place in the US: Hot Dog Heaven! :)

Wednesday Fredrik, Leia and I went to the mall to go shopping. We ran into only a few people that we knew. ;) But we got a few nice things and even looked at some cheap laptops, but I decided that I HAVE to have a Swedish keyboard and we opted to wait to buy a new one when we get to Sweden. Leia then had her first "Sunday school" class on Wednesday night. :) She went into the 2-3 year old class and she did great! She sat in her chair and colored and played. We were able to see lots of old friends and life long aquaintances.

Tomorrow we will be leaving for Pennsylvania. We'll spend the night tomorrow night and then on Saturday we will meet my sister, her children, and her boyfriend in Hershey, Pennsylvania. We will spend the day with them. I think on Sunday, Fredrik and I are going to try to go to the movies for the first time this trip. Our schedule is SO completely packed!

I really, really wanna add pictures. :( But we need to get a USB attachment for the computer to use the memory stick from my camera. We won't be able to get that until we get back - so you're gonna have to wait a little longer! :)

Ohio.

Sorry I didn't post yesterday! We were a little tired after our looong trip. :) I am fighting with the American keyboard but besides that we are all doing well. We've all adjusted pretty well already to the time change!

Leia was excellent on hte flight! We couldn't have asked her to have been any better. She stayed in her seat or sat on our laps. She didn't once want to run around in the aisle or get on the floor. She even slept 3 hours of the 8 hour Atlantic flight. :) She wasn't so pleasant before we got on the flight, so we were expecting the worst, but she was a champ. :)

Today we went shopping at the outlets in Lodi, and we bought lots of clothes for Leia, as well as some things for Mamma and Pappa as well of course.. :)

I do have some pictures of course from the flight to share and I'll try to get those on here when I can!
