Abby's Birthday

Abigail wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She was born on December 21st. Most people don't want to bring their kids to a birthday party that close to Christmas. Abby doesn't know what she wants for Christmas let alone her birthday. All these factors let us to December 5th...
Abby invited all her friends to come to the zoo and in lieu of gifts to bring $10 to help sponsor an animal. We had a great time at the zoo and the kids decided to sponsor the wallaby. (She also got a donation from her siblings and my parents. She ended up with $111.) Instead of cake, she requested a picnic lunch with Oreo cookies.

We got to feet the stingrays.


We saw the new Komodo Dragon exhibit.
The weather was beautiful. The kids were happy...


And we found a hairy pig!


We brushed the goats at the petting zoo. Even a cream colored one named "mini muffin".


And rode the Carousel
