Happy 2nd Birthday Sweet, Sweet Lionel!!!!!



Presents!





World Wildlife Zoo & Aquarium

We headed out for some family/birthday adventure today! The boys LOVED the aquarium part. Everett would look quickly at the exhibit and then say, "Come on guys, let's go deeper!" There were long dark halls, so maybe he thought it was like going deeper into a cave? And Lionel would run over and say, "Mama, look!" and sometimes there wasn't even an animal, just a food dish. Their excitement was contagious though. I thoroughly enjoyed it, too.

The first photo is great because Everett is mimicking the flamingo! We saw a ton of animals and had such a fantastic day!





Pete & Repeat




The Petting Zoo

Lionel really enjoyed petting the animals and seeing them up close. Everett did it, but wanted to go back to the playground. The best part was when a deer started eating Lionel's shirt. He was excited yet terrified! Look closely.





The Skyride

We got up close and personal with the giraffes just before we climbed aboard the Skyride. Everett rode with Billy, and Lionel and I went together. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about the heights. I was holding on to the bar with one hand and Lionel with the other. I just had visions of him jumping off of there! It was neat to be above the zoo and see the animals from a different perspective.





Happy Birthday to You!
