Gabriela's 2nd Birthday

 
Gabriela has been talking about riding a train for weeks. Every time we go somewhere she asks if we're riding a train, so what better way to start off her birthday celebration than a train ride at the zoo?


Showing off their monkey faces

On the train ride you see emus, and walaroos (cousins of the kangaroo) just hanging out all up and close. It was pretty cool. 
We went straight to the rides before there were crowds and before the kids were too tired to enjoy them.  How cute is it that the ride was practically empty and Chaney and Beau still decided to share a car?
 
What better way to enjoy your monkey birthday than with a ride on the gorilla at the zoo's Merry Go Round? 
  
We enjoyed lots of different types of monkeys and apes at the zoo.  Perfect in keeping with the monkey theme :)
 
The kids ran and climbed and jumped around in the children's zoo play area. Chaney was such a good big cousin, helping Gabriela around! 
Gabriela loved the giraffes with their long necks and calls them "Ga-Jaffs" 
 
Brothers... and an elephant
 
Going to the zoo, spending time with cousins and enjoying the rides was a perfect way to celebrate Gabriela's special day.  More later on the evening's celebration!
