Our Baby is Five!

_MG_7259.jpgJust one week after Elizabeth's birthday comes Anna's birthday. They're like two peas in a pod being just one year apart. Can you guess what Anna wanted to do for her birthday?

_MG_7272.jpgIt was another trip to the zoo for us on Anna's birthday. We tried to check some of the animals that we didn't see the week before.

_MG_7276.jpgI suppose making regular trips to the zoo makes it so one doesn't have to see all of the exhibits on these same day, right?

The sliver backs were snacking which made the rest of us a little hungry too._MG_7299.jpgThe downpour the week before caused the carousel to close for obvious reasons.

_MG_7309.jpgElizabeth was super disappointed, but all was well when they gave us a raincheck and she was able to ride along with Anna!

_MG_7316.jpgSince I seem to get dizzy on the carousel, in my old age, my Lutheran Stud rides the carousel with the children while hang out and to get footage.

Have you ever seen the penny thing? You stick a penny into the machine above. It gets melted down into this. Pretty cool, huh?

_MG_7333.jpgIt seemed like a lot of the animals were eating lunch when we came by, as was this rhino. He paid no attention to us. He was focused.

_MG_7336.jpgThis ass, on the other hand, wanted to jump the fence and get us. We actually thought he was going to do it too.

_MG_7342.jpgThe sea lions wanted to play too. They kept swooping down and putting on a show for us.

_MG_7357.jpgWe couldn't leave the zoo without a stop for ice cream for the birthday girl!

_MG_7366.jpgAnd to be spoiled even more, Kellee made these awesome Snow White cookies for her.

I am laughing thinking about Anna sitting outside your garage waiting for us to return from Starbucks with a huge smile on her face. :) What a little five-year-old cutie!

We miss you guys, too, Katie!

Lauren, that was so hilarious. It's how she rolls.
