Mimi and Papa Visit -- Day 2!

Day 2 of Mimi and Papa's visit, was Aubrey's Birthday, February 4th!
We headed up to Fresno to go to the ZOO!!

First stop was the Asian Elephants!

Aubrey knows all of the animal noises and was sure to do all of them when we got to each animal! Her elephant noise is by far my favorite!
 

Next we headed to the orangutans!
He was picking his nose!

I didn't realize how tall tigers were!

Flamingos!!

Then we headed to the new African Exhibit! It was so cool! Aubrey thought this "Kitty" was pretty neat!
Then thought the real one was REALLY neat!

We found a lizard on the rock! She immediately stuck out her tongue because that is what a lizard says! lol

Giraffes!

We then went to the canopy and paid to feed the giraffes!

Aubrey thought it was so cool! She wasn't scared for even a second! She kept tearing the lettuce into smaller pieces so she could feed the giraffe more than a couple of pieces! She is so smart!

Papa had a blast taking pictures of her!

Then we were off to more elephants... but the African Elephants this time!

We were having a blast! Once we finished with the African Exhibits, we ate some lunch!

Then off to the petting zoo! Aubrey loves the GOATS!
She climbed right into their trough!

Feeding the Goat!

Hugs!!

Then they went to see the Brown Cow!


Aubrey was off to the next trough!



Next was the Sea Lions! They have such a fun exhibit there too!

Oh WOW!! 

Swimming by!


On our way out we stopped by the reptile exhibit! She learned what a Snake said! SSSsssss!!


We drove home to Bakersfield and Aubrey took a good nap!

We got home just in time for Brad to get off work and to get the party started!! 

We FaceTimed with Grandma and Grandpa Duffy and then opened presents!
Princess Castle that Daddy was busy putting it together!


Aunt Kensie and Uncle Jeremy sent her this fun Minnie van and play mat!


Princess dress by Aunt Jerah and Uncle Kenny... picture not shown but it is the cutest Rapunzel Dress

Once Daddy put the castle together, Mimi and Aubrey played for hours! Shhh.. Princess is sleeping!


Then it was cake time! I had full intentions of making her a cake.. but didn't end up having time with our busy day! Vons Jumbo Cupcake did the trick!
Taste test...


Destroy MODE!! 


Cake was EVERYWHERE! But it was so fun!


Aubrey had a pretty special birthday!! We love you sweet girl!
