Reagan's Birthday Recap: Part II

Saturday, Reagan celebrated her 4th birthday with her friends at the zoo.


Reagan's buddies: Addison, birthday girl, Adeline, & Elijah. Her two other pals, Hayden & Carson, were too busy playing to pose for a picture.


Addison & Reagan share a giant giraffe pillow.
Animal Presentation
The zoo provides an employee to be your guide throughout the party. She, along with several volunteers, did a little animal education presentation.

The kids sitting on the carpet listening. As they brought out each animal, the kids listened to information about the animal and then had the opportunity to pet it. If you didn't want to pet it, you got to say "pass".

Check out these animals....


Madagascar Hissing Cockroach
Reagan: pass
(Do you blame her?! lol)

Happy, the Blue-Tongued Lizard
Reagan: pass

Hedgehog
Reagan: pass

Will she ever pet any of them?! I wondered.

Chinchilla
Reagan: Pet it! Although very briefly and with one finger :)

Reagan, being Reagan, didn't even answer any of the questions. She did whisper one I'm told, but I didn't hear it. Later, I asked her why she didn't answer any questions because I know she knew some of them. She answered "Well, I am a bit shy".

Train Ride
The kids boarded the train and we were off around the Good Zoo.


Reagan got to feed this bird a seed. I was surprised she let it get close to her hand.


Quinn enjoyed his first train ride (and trip to the zoo!) with Aunt Laney & Uncle Jim.


The birthday girl got a sunhat and new glasses for the beach
(Only one more week! YIPPEE!!!)
After Reagan's party, we explored the zoo.
The next morning, after her party, Reagan informed me she got to make a wish when she blew out her candles and that she wished for a 4-wheeler (because her Dora one is too small now she informed me) and that she could recycle everything all the time, not just plastic bags (lol). What a wish for a 4-year-old!!

There has also been talk about trying to save all the trees in the world as well planting more. Today, while at McDonalds with Bill, she asked for change. When Bill asked what she needed it for, she said "to help the sick kids". Bill called her our Tree-hugger Humanitarian. I hope that never changes about her.

I think those first few months with me must have set the tree hugging nature in motion ;)
