Happy Buh-Buh to me!!

This last weekend I turned three! I have been talking about my birthday (which I call Buh-Buh) for months now and was so excited that it was finally here.  Mommy and daddy decided to take me on a trip to Sacramento to the zoo, FairyTale Town and Funderland Park instead of having a party for me.  We had a great time hanging out together as a family. 

We drove down to Sac Friday night after mommy got off work which made it kind of a late night. But, that meant we could be there right when the zoo opened before it got hot. We knew that we would have a better chance of seeing the animals before it got too hot. 

We got to see five giraffes up really close. One of them was super silly and kept kicking a really big barrel around like it was a ball. We also got to see a spotted leopard, some orangutans, a lion, really big ant eaters, and lots of other animals up really, really close. Mommy and daddy kept saying how amazing it was to see the animals that close. Probably my favorite part of the zoo was a show we went to where at the end we got to touch a bunch of the animals. I got to pet "Abby" the six banded armadillo, a hedge hog, a tortoise, and got to see a blue Macaw and Harris Hawk up really close. Abby the armadillo was my favorite! We got to chase her back and forth and she would run underneath our legs like a bridge!!

After the zoo in the morning and a nice nap, mommy and daddy took me to a place called Funderland Park. It is a small amusement park with rides just for little bitty kiddos like me. My favorite ride was the little fishies, but I also really liked the carousel.  I also got to experience cotton candy for the very first time! What a sticky mess that is!

And After!!

Needless to say, I was totally exhausted after a very busy day AND I was filthy dirty!! Mommy got me all cleaned up and in bed for a good nights sleep. Sunday, mommy and daddy woke me up singing Happy Birthday... I just giggled and giggled and giggled! The they took me to a really neat place called Fairytale Town which is a big park with tons of stuff to climb on and play on. Everything is based on a nursery rhyme or kid story. I got to run around and climb all over everything and everyone there was around my age which was really nice. Right before we left they had a show on one of the big stages and all of the princesses came out to sing me Happy Birthday! I just stood there looking terrified the whole time!!
