Early Birthday

My birthday is Monday, so my parents came to Corvallis today to celebrate. We went to the farmer's market, which is where I took the picture of the beautiful lily. Then we walked around downtown for a while and had lunch at the Vietnamese baguette shop. I had to pop into work for a bit, then we drove home, they napped while I worked on putting together a stepping stone I had made my mom a few years ago. It froze this year and needed to be be reconstructed. My mom took it with her to finish, so I don't have a final picture, but I do have a before. It's too bad because it looked really nice all shiny and clean. Then we stopped by Garland's Nursery and went on an old growth hike near my house. On said hike we saw a Swainson's Thrush and a Hutton's Vireo. It was great, I find the birds, they identify them. After that we went to Tarntip for some Thai food and home for cake and ice cream! Juanita stopped in for some conversation. It was a really nice day, and my mom made me a beautiful, delicious cake!
