The Moo had her 5th birthday party today at the National Zoo in downtown DC. The party was held in the Rainforest Room at the Amazonia exhibit, and the children were taken on a tour of the rainforest exhibit as part of the festivities. A good time was had by all, especially the Moo who loved having all of her friends there (particularly her fiancee) and was thrilled to find out in a special presentation at the end that the Zoo was letting her adopt an animal for her birthday. The Moo's animal is Sookie the Grey Seal, and she received a picture and stuffed version of her new "pet" from the Zoo staff -- she stared at the picture and snuggled the stuffed animal the entire drive home! Thanks to all who turned out and made her party so great!! I will spam you with the million pics that dad took later, but wanted to get a few on the girls' blog as well. The Bean did a great job letting her sister have the limelight, although the Moo did get a little more help than she really wanted opening presents when we got home.
That looks like a great party. I wish we lived closer so we could visit the zoo too! I'm glad things went well and both girls had a good time.
ReplyDeleteI think we have one of those big fish in our aquarium. (Arrowana?) I'll have to take a picture for you! (Of course it's not that big.
