The morning of Delia's birthday, we bundled up and went out early to make sure we got some good animal time in before lunch and nap time. I guess January is not a busy month for zoos, because we practically had the place to ourselves. It was great! Uncle Gerald and Aunt Sarah drove over to meet us too!
The very first animals we saw were these monkeys and they were LOUD. They were hooping and hollering and swinging from rope to rope.
They were making so much noise it was cracking us up. Delia did not think it was so funny. It made her a little nervous at first, but she relaxed when we got a little farther away from them. That night after she fell asleep, I heard her say in a scared voice, "Monkeeey!"
Delia loved the giraffes.
REALLY loved them.
We also saw elephants, lions, tigers, otters, ducks, chickens, and turtles. When we saw the tigers, Delia screamed "C'MERE KITTY!!"
There was a carousel that ran every hour on the hour, and we just happened to find it at 11:57! They ran it around an extra time "for the Birthday Girl, Delia!"
Aubrey, Regan, Emily, and Aunt Jennifer all found a horse they liked for the ride.
While we were riding, Delia said "I ride horsey!"
Then we went to Cantina Loredo for a Mexican brunch. They brought out a birthday brownie with a sparkler on it!
For the record, Delia did not want any brownie. So Mom took care of it.
Happy Birthday to our big girl!
