Happy Birthday to you....we went to the zoo!!

What could be better than going to the zoo on Mara's birthday with her cousins? What a great day! We had a really fun time with Aunt Erin, Kate and Anna at Hogle Zoo, but it wouldn't have really mattered where we went because the kids just had such a good time being together! Ty, Kate, and Mara are all one year apart and they are so cute together!

I remember this lion from when I was a kid!

We were hoping to see the baby elephant but it was with it's mother!

Ty LOVES maps! He was showing and telling us where to go at the zoo!
Mara looks up to Kate and just loves to hold her hand!

Kate is such a sweet little girl with a huge personality! It was fun to get to know her better!

Ride that Rhino!

Cute little friends!

The kids all wanted to ride the merry-go-round at the zoo! But we couldn't decide if we really wanted to pay the extra money for the ride. The attendant said we could have a ride for free since they were about to close. That made the decision easy for us! We all hopped on and took a ride and the attendant even wished a special happy birthday to Mara!

Three little princesses going for a ride! Peek-a-boo Anna!

Ty really wanted to see 'Alex the lion' from his favorite movie Madagascar, but the zoo didn't have any lions--they did have a Madagascar exhibit!
