So Many Pictures of the Zoo, You Will Feel Like You Are Right There with Us!

So much birthday celebration going on!! I love birthday season for our family, with all eight nieces and nephews being born between the end of December and the end of March. This weekend, my youngest nephew Will's birthday party was at the Fort Worth Zoo. The weather was perfection. We had a blast!

Oliver peeking at a meercat.

Gigi, Oliver and Nosy check out some deer-like creatures.

Clayton loved the elephants. Too bad this one just would not turn around!

Papa helps O stay balanced atop this pillar.

There's the Birthday Boy, with the best seat in town!

O kept us heading in the right direction.

Noah could see everything from his lofty perch.


When did Owen start to look six? Seriously.

A few of my favorite monkeys.

Every single trip to the zoo, Jeremy takes a picture of this same mountain goat.

Feeding the birds. This was the best $1 spent, for sure!

In fact, feeding the birds was O's absolute favorite part of the whole day!

He eventually was brave enough to do it on his own, although right after I snapped this photo, the bird fluttered its wings a bit. O got so flustered that he dropped the stick. The bird flew away to safety.


My favorite picture of the day.

Maddie, Mia, O and Clayton

The Birthday Guy again. Check out the amazingly cute monkey cupcakes Julianne made.

Owie sure enjoyed his!

Mia takes such gentle care of Noah.

Will needs to make a phone call.

Mia looks as if she is just waiting for her prince to come whisk her away!

Will, you are such a special Guy to all of us! We love you! Happy, happy birthday. And thanks for a fun-filled day!
