Chloe was invited to a birthday party at the zoo last weekend for one of her friends in her class. They had a good turnout, and the kids had a ball! They brought in animals to the party for them to get a close up look at and got to pet a couple of them. They got to see a hedgehog, snake, tortoise and an owl! This is Chloe and the birthday girl, Melodi.

We got there a little early so we spent our time wisely taking some selfies.

 Check out these two handsome guys on the playground!

 The kids went on the log ride probably 25 times. They went with us the first 2 times then ditched us for their friends.

Here is a video of one of the times they rode it

 Parker was quite the ladies man...

 At one point, we were feverishly looking around to find Parker when about that time we saw this log coming down the chute. He has definitely come out of his shell!!!

 All the kids waiting to get splashed on the bridge

 The girls couldn't resist the photo booth

 Parker's artwork is on the online gallery through school, but you don't get to see much of Chloe's artwork so here are a couple things that she brought home this week. I love it!!

 Wednesday was Daddy's birthday. We didn't get any pictures with the cake because we had a bit of a malfunction... The kids made the cake and decorated it all by themselves. I should have taken a picture prior to putting the lid on the pan because when we took the lid off 80% of the icing came with it. :( Happy birthday anyway, Daddy!

 The kids didn't ignore Mommy though just because it was Daddy's birthday :)
