BIRTHDAY BOY!!!!! Part 2, Celebration at THE DC ZOO!

Heading to the ZOO for Andrew's birthday!!!

My little snack-packer 😁

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ Totally accidental.  Honestly unplanned.  Surprised each other. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
πŸ‘‡Exact. Same. Outfit.πŸ‘‡
Yay, we made it!! 
Meeting up with our sweet DC friends!! 
Panda!! 

Elephants and....elephant poop πŸ˜²πŸ˜‚WOW.  

So fun!! 

This little Lion Tamarin was my favorite!!! 


The kids had such a blast!  
(More lion tamarins...I LOVED them πŸ˜„πŸ˜„)
πŸ‘‡Cutest view all day!
Sea otters were adorable! 
This was supposed to be us with the llamas, except I think the photographer missed the llama?! πŸ˜‚ Andrew sang the llama song-book...it was so cute!
 

🦁🦁 Do we look roar-ish?! 🦁🦁

Well Andrew laughed at us anyways...πŸ˜‡
The tiger roared for the kids and it was very exciting! 

My kiddos loved the beach/birds room!
Andrew LOVED the ducks!! 
We set off from the zoo to go out to dinner and found Andrew like this when we arrived at Whole Foods...πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚...perhaps he was hungrier than we realized?! 
Treats!!! 
This was our pitiful dinner selfie πŸ˜†

Happy, happy birthday to the cutest, funniest, sweetest toddler ever!!!!  

We are SO BLESSED to have you in our family!!!
