the zoo / birthday

For Levi's birthday this year we went to the zoo with some of his cousins. 

For the week before going I had been showing Levi lots of calgary zoo video's on youtube, to get him so excited. He couldn't wait to see " beba's" (zebras), "beers" (bears) and "bipos" (hippos).

We had so much fun! I'll spare you all the animal pictures and just give you the cute ones.

 We ran into the butterfly exhibit while it poured outside, but it sure cooled the day off nicely.

 Can you spot the butterfly?

 Rachel had told lauren not to put her hands in the water, so she came up to me and said "i only put my finger in it". It was so cute!

 6 kids 4 and under. It was such a blast watching them all get excited over the animals.

 what a bunch of hams.

 3 hours past nap time levi finally crashed and then we had to wake him up 30 mins later for the penguin exhibit.

 Levi loved the penguin exhibit and didn't want to leave it!

Levi sure loves his daddy!

Thanks Laura and Rachel for coming, we really appreciate the fun day. It wasn't rushed or crazy (minus the rain storm) we just went and did what we wanted to do and the kids seemed to have loved it.
