Since we don't see much of Daddy during tax season, every year for my birthday I ask for a family day. This year we celebrated our family day at the zoo.
The zoo hosted Easter egg hunts for children all day long. Lily got to participate in the 2 & under hunt. As you can see, they don't "hide" the eggs very well.
Here we are waiting at the starting line. We are next to the speakers on the stage. Mommy is waving and wearing a purple shirt. Lily waited so patiently. She held her bucket so tight. She was ready.
Daddy had a hard time finding us when the hunt began. Mommy was amazed at how competitive the other parents were to get to the eggs and candy. Lily found a quiet spot where she felt comfortable exploring. Mommy showed her how to put the treats in the bucket. Lily kept wanting to put the treats back on the ground.
Here we are running to Daddy to show him what we found. Look at Lily's smile!
She was pretty pleased with her loot.
But we decided to see if more could be found.
By the end of the hunt, she was tired. She took some candy out of her bucket and wanted to hold it all day long.
We finally got her to drop the candy when she went to the petting zoo. She was very interested in this baby goat. Daddy tried to help her touch the soft ears, but she just wanted to look.
Here's the big girl wanting to walk by herself. She promptly fell down right after this picture was taken.
The giraffes were out enjoying the warm weather. Lily had never seen them this closely before. She was enchanted.
The lions are one of her favorite animals. She loves to try and roar just like them.
Here's the family after a fun day. Mommy loved being together for her birthday. Lily loved her first egg hunt. Daddy loved that it was all free.
We know it was a successful outing when she falls asleep only five minutes into the car ride.
Thanks for our zoo membership Puna and Papa! Wish you could have been here with us!
