Zoo Birthday Party

Ellie was so excited to have her zoo birthday party.  She counted down the sleeps until her party every morning and night.  She invited her many best friends both from coffee group and school.  Everyone had a great time.  The girls tried to keep the naughty boys out of the one cottage and away from the stools they were using to block the path.  The boys won this around and took over the cottage until the food was on the table.  Then, the whole group went on a 30 minute tour of the zoo in the area we were having the party.  The cake was a big success with Ellie blowing out all the candles and the kids choosing which icing animal they wanted to eat.  After the party, we spent the next few hours walking around the zoo with some close friends.  This included ice cream and the kids all getting wet playing in the fountain.    The day ended with Ellie sound asleep in the car when we arrived home.
