the birthday zoo trip

For Liam's birthday a week ago, we spent the day at the zoo in Tulsa. Don't let my shorts-clad legs fool you. The day was colder than expected, quite windy, and threatened of rain, but we still had a great time seeing all of Liam's favorites. It was fun to watch Liam showing his zoo off to everyone else. He excitedly took us from the monkeys to the snow owl, from the petting zoo to the rain forest, and, last stop, to the train. But no animals can compete with extra special birthday attention from Tio Andres and Tia Molly.
They can do really cool circus tricks.
And sometimes they are just funny.
But they are always good for snuggling.
River was glad for all of the extra Grammie time, especially on the train. Growl! (River's-I'm-so-happy-I-can't-contain-myself-sound).
Not only did we get to have Grammie, Tia Molly, and Tio Andres for our day at the zoo, Daddy came too. Now that's a special zoo trip!

With Gabriel at his side, Liam was feeling brave enough to get close to the geese. He wanted to touch them, but the geese didn't share his new-found boldness.


A special day at the zoo for an extra special birthday boy. He loved it. Clearly!
