The Zoo, Birthday Cake and Presents

What a week it has been!!  A whirlwind past 10 days.  It feels nice to have a little bit of a breather, although life always seems super busy these days.  

On Evelina's actual birthday, we started out the day with a candle in her scrambled eggs, a trip to the Southwick Zoo, followed by cake, presents, and play time. 

We will most certainly take another trip to the Southwick Zoo.  Only about 40 minutes away, it was the perfect size for a little one with a large variety of animals.  We were able to walk through in about 3 hours, the perfect amount of time between morning and afternoon naps.  For the most part, Evelina wasn't sure what to make of the animals but if something moved or made noise, she would observe and analyze, just taking it all in.  Of course, our little nosy body couldn't let the day go by without an abundance of people watching.  

I definitely hope we can make it a tradition of taking the day off to celebrate Evelina's birthday.  We had so much fun!!  

Here are just a few photos from the day.

Happy Birthday Evelina!! Those aren't tears, just watery eyes.
