Zoo for mommy's birthday

 Mommy has just turned 29.  To celebrate, we took the girls to the Riverbanks Zoo.  The girls had an unbelievable time.  Mommy and daddy are glad we bought the van for such trips.  It made it so much more enjoyable and we could keep driving if the girls needed help.  This is at the entrance to the zoo.  Pumped up!
 Daphne took her own pictures while there.  Needless to say, we had to delete pictures so she could continue taking more by lunchtime!  And yes, she has her binoculars on too.  Can't forget those!

 Daphne looking at all of the fountains in the garden area.
 She seriously has some sort of weird lizard connection.  This lizard did the same thing that the chameleon did in the pet store a few months back when we were thinking of buying one.  It saw her from across the tank, then came straight for her, and stood there and stared.  It was crazy!
 Running through the mist.
 Even Jocelyn had to do it.  It wasn't too hot or too cold on Saturday.  It was just perfect weather.
 Jocelyn had to see the fish up close.
 Mommy's favorite.
 Shark bait, ooh ahh ahh.

Mommy had a wonderful time spending her birthday at the zoo.  The girls did great and it was a fun road trip for all four of us.
