Hadley Visits the Zoo

It's here! Hadley's birthday month. And not just her birthday month, her birthday week!!!! She turn's one in THREE days!!!! As bittersweet as this milestone is for me, it is a time for celebration, and I just love a good reason to celebrate. 

Today was a perfectly lovely May Day, sunny skies and temps in the low 70s. A great day to take Hadley on her first outing to the zoo. I have been dying to take Hadley to the zoo! Not sure why... Maybe because there aren't too many activities that she can join in on just yet. This was perfect for her though, because she is just starting to take a real interest in animals. Her newest word is even bird! More like "burr", but close enough! :)

We got to the zoo right when it opened and went straight to the "Giants of the Savanna" exhibit.

Daddy was super excited to see the giraffes, mainly because he wanted to feed them! For $5 you can hand feed the giraffes a few pieces of lettuce! Well he can go ahead and scratch that one off his bucket list!
Hadley didn't give us too many smiles today. I think she was just taking it all in. This magical world of animals that she's only seen before in picture books can be a little overwhelming for a first timer.

She was all smiles during snack time though, don't worry... :)

We spent about 2 hours wandering around the Savanna exhibit. We then crossed over to the other part of the zoo afterwards and visited the Children's Zoo for a bit.

We all started getting a little tired though by about noon, so we decided to call it a day. But, the good news is.... Daddy got Hadley & I a family membership to the Zoo so we can go back anytime we want! Yay!!! We are going to wear that place out this summer! Who wants to join us??? 

We had such a fun time today and are excited to officially kick off Hadley's birthday week! It is going to be such a special week, celebrating the very best little girl!

​XOXOXO
