Whoopee! Cati is 3!

I am convinced that Cati believes she has the never-ending birthday. Two sets of grandparents came into town and she already had her big bash. Before her actual birthday. Each night when she prays she thanks God that her birthday is coming. This has been for weeks, now. Sadly, this Groundhog Birthday of hers has ended. But we had a blast today on her official birthday. We started our morning at the zoo...

We saw birds...

Got a little wet...

Saw more birds and fed the budgies...

who kinda attacked my hubby and started grooming him...too funny

Fed a giraffe...

Rode a pony...twice

Made some goat friends...who taught us how to clean up the pen...

Got really hot...then rained on...then hot again...

Rode a plastic giraffe...then a plastic horse because plastic giraffe did not go up and down...of course this can also be done at the mall and came after the real live pony but its Cati's day...

Opened some gifts...

digging it...

went out for a birthday dinner...pizza, of course...

and it was yummy...

...and finally for ice cream where Cati opted out of having a small cake to have Smurf ice cream. A neon, blue color with little marshmallows in it that tastes like the bubble gum flavored toothpaste at the dentist office (blech!)

Happy Birthday Cati!
