We celebrated my birthday by going to the biggest museum in our state, driving almost two hours to get there. That was yesterday.
There was a small (pfhthhh-not very)butterfly garden at the museum, with species of butterflies from all around the world. With my dads SLR camera being conveniently located in my hands, I couldn't resist taking a few pictures. Okay, 200 pictures. But here are the best:

Beautiful, right?
I also got this little cute stuffed animal I've wanted for a while from Toy Story Three (I'm a bit of a disney lover) They're so cute! I love them!
Today I am twelve.
