Taelin's First Birthday!

I didn't get to writing about Taelin's birthday! I would like to say thank you to everyone who helped and shared this special day with us. Taelin had such a great day! We went to the zoo first thing in the morning and we are glad that we did. All of the animals seemed to be awake and were being fed! That is the best time to watch them since they are out of hiding and moving around. It was great!

Taelin loved the monkeys... here is a video of her talking to them in the monkey house!
For the first time at the Hogle Zoo, I got to see the penguins being fed! ( sorry the picture is blurry) So they were actually doing something rather than just standing there. They were going in the water!!! For some reason I love watching them jump into the water! The Bears were having enrichment exercises. This is where they hid food around their exhibit and then observe them finding the yummy treats!

After a long day at the zoo Taelin took a nap on the way home. It was great! I hurried and finnished making some cup cakes for her party and then we were off to Lion's park. The weather had been perfect all day and then out of no where the wind picked up and it started to get cold! Even though the weather wasn't the best everyone still came and helped us celebrate! Thank you... There was great food and lots of presents! We had a blast and at the end of the day were ready for bed!
