On the first of August we arranged to meet some online friends in real life at the zoo. I was really excited because Kristy and I had become friends on Facebook through the adoption community. We found that we have many things in common or of common interest. They traveled shortly after us and their little on has the same hip condition as Dani. She will even be having the same surgery at Scottish Rite this fall. I am so thankful that she drove her girls all the way up here to meet us at the zoo. It was also the first birthday of one of the new baby elephants so they had “Nothing Bundt Cakes” for the first 1,000 guests. The girls and I walked over to see Bowie get his special birthday cake.
I thought it was really cute that the zoo keepers kept the big elephants back while the little enjoyed the treats. After a little while they let the adults join in 🙂
I was happy that Dani let me put her near this statue because the last couple of times we went to the zoo she sort of freaked.
The girls were really cute together, but in this pic I think Dani had decided she was the “owner” of the kangaroo.
Dani loved going on the zoo carousel for the first time.
We rode the train back to the entrance which is always fun. **Thanks for meeting us Kristy!! It was a blast!
After we said our goodbyes I took the girls over to La Playa Maya to share queso and cowboy enchiladas. And once we started eating I asked myself why we haven’t been there in so long? It’s so YUMMY!!!
