Eva's Fourth Birthday

Eva turned four!  Hard to believe our baby is that old already.  We spent the day at the Racine Zoo.  Here are some pics.

 She got to open her presents before we went.

 A Ken doll!  We have a couple of Barbies, but no Ken, so this is great.

 New panties. 

 A Hello Kitty bathing suit.

 A Frozen wand. Neat!

 And Frozen dress-up clothes.  Wow!

 Pony jewelry.

 And some Pony clothes.

 Some awesome Barbie accessories.

 Now Barbie can be a nurse!

 Wooden bead jewelry set from her Godparents.

 She's stylin' in her cherry sunglasses, pony jewelry, and Frozen dress.

 Such a goof.

 Time for the zoo!

 Sleeping kangaroo.

 Birthday girl and Daddy.

 The monkeys were really funny.

 We went with our friends who have two little girls.

 The tiger is always Lena's favorite.

 When we went to the lion exhibit, we noticed one of the zookeepers putting food out so we waited to watch the lion come out and eat.

 It felt like forever until they let him out.

 Lunchtime!

 I love this pic of my big birthday girl.

 The zoo has a really nice playground in it.

 Back to the animals.

 The giraffes were cool.

 Of course, Lena loved the petting zoo.

 The coolest part of the Racine Zoo is the aviary.

 

 For a couple of bucks you get to feed the parakeets.

 

 The cockatiel really liked me.  So much so that he kinda started mating with my hand and the zookeeper took him away.  :)

 
 Put a bird on it!

 

 After we were done at the zoo, we had a picnic lunch in the park.  That's the lake in the background.

 The birthday girl was worn out!

But she perked back up after we arrived at Cherry Berry.

 After dinner at home that night, Eva got to blow out candles on her cupcakes.

 Of course, she ate all the frosting off first.

The new lawn chair Grandpa Brian and Miss T got her.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EVA!!
