Last week Alaina had her 20th Birthday! I can't believe she is not a teenager anymore. We celebrated by spending the weekend together; swimming at the hotel, visiting the zoo & eating deep dish pizza! We are so glad she let us join in her Birthday Celebration!
Noah thought the ball water sculpture thing was pretty great, he'd have stayed there all day I think.
I had this brilliant idea that a toddler leash would be great to keep Noah inline since he refuses to hold hands with anyone. Let me back up a few years, whenever I saw parents with these prior to having a toddler I always thought why can't you just control your child instead of treating him like a dog. Well I had another eat my words moment & bought one. I have also realized raising a child is a lot like raising a dog, another post all together. Back to the present, my brilliant idea wasn't so brilliant. I am sure we looked like a scene from a funny movie where the dog is dragging it owner around because well that is exactly what happened except it was with a toddler & his Mom. The leash spend the day in the basket under the stroller.
I am not sure what Mark & Alaina are doing I just thought it was cute.
We actually got to see the tigers up & moving around, pretty awesome.
Noah really enjoyed the carousal, he would have stayed on there more than 1 trip around.
We paid all the money to go to the zoo & the animal Noah got most excited about was the one that looks like a cat. He kept saying "titty" and pointing at it.
Alaina's highlight of the day was seeing the wolf. They actually were having wolf day so we got to see some cool exhibit things & touch wolf fur.
Feeding the ducks. Noah liked it less when he tried to eat the duck food aka dog food. He was less the thrilled. As we were feeding the ducks we learned that swans are rather mean, they kept attacking & biting the ducks for food. I believe one remark was whoever wrote the Ugly Duckling has not seen a hungry swan.
Noah really enjoyed Discovery Land.
As a child I always thought these were fun, now I think the are hot & stinky! Noah thought it was fun to see Daddy outside.
COTTON CANDY!
MMMM, Chicago Deep Dish!
Happy Late Birthday Alaina! We love you & are glad we could celebrate together!
