Like any perfect birthday, the day started off with a cupcake we made together the night before. Chocolate with pink frosting was Chloe's very specific request. She didn't really eat much of the cupcake but did enjoy the frosting very much.
Next up we went to Snow City Cafe for breakfast, where Chloe got her all-time favorite blueberry pancakes. She also got to wear her special birthday shirt. She knows her numbers so she can tell you she is two now! Holding up two fingers is still a little tough but she tries!
You may notice the binky has made a re-appearance....well that is a whole different post. She fell and hurt her lip big time so we let her have it to keep the vaseline in place and to help with the pain too.
After breakfast we continued the fun with our very first trip to the zoo! It was AWESOME!!!!! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Peters for the membership! Chloe absolutely loved the place. And so did we! We will definitely be going there A LOT this summer, and winter too!
You can get really really close to the animals...maybe too close.
There are cool boardwalk bridges, and trails that lead all through the beautiful wilderness to the different animal habitats. It is much less commercial than any zoo I have seen- I don't think there is even a gift shop.....more likely is that we didn't see it tacked away somewhere in the wilderness.
To Chloe's delight Grandma Romerdahl got to come along with us too.
She pretty much loved the entire place.
Checking out the tigers with Dad was pretty great too!
After nap time we had a little party for Chloe with Grandma and Grandpa Romerdahl, where Chloe got her very own cupcake with a giant candle. She LOVED it when we sang to her, and also loved blowing out the candle. She just wanted us to keep lighting it so we would sing to her over and over again. Of course we did it. You only turn two once!
It was a really fun family day for all of us. We really should do more Chloe-centric days like this. Of course she loves it, and guess what so do we!
