Olivia's 3rd Birthday

 HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY SWEETHEART!!!  Lance had the day off so already we were off to a good start!  Our day started off with pancakes and her new Strawberry Shortcake movie that mommy and daddy gave her at her party while Tyson took a nap.  Then it was off to McDonald's play place for lunch, Liv is funny, she always wants to go to the play place, but she doesn't actually go up in the tubes and down the slides. 

 After Lunch it was on to Hogle Zoo as per her request...The weather was pretty cold and overcast when we got there, like 50 degrees, but it warmed up a little as the sun came out. I think Liv was most excited to see the Giraffes, she wanted to move on so we could go see them. 

 Lance and I thought that even though it was a little cold, it was a good day at the zoo, not really crowded and most of the animals were out and about in the cooler weather.

 Cute Little Stinker, he was really a good boy!  Such a good sport in the cold.

 Seals and Sea Lions.  This is really a great exhibit!  So neat!

 Yay!   The Polar Bear came out just as we got there and Liv was really excited.

 Bears.

 finally made it to the Giraffes.  They were all outside when we walked over there then they all went inside, so we got to see them all and up close.  Olivia loved the little baby one.

 Lynx Cat

 I'm sorry for whoever believes in evolution, but there is just no way that we evolved from monkey's...Look at these things! 

So goofy! and his friends were eating paper.  And last time we were at the zoo we watched the gorilla poop in his hand and eat it...Yummy.  Lastly we went to the gift shop where Daddy bought Liv and Tys a toy.  Liv picked a white tiger stuffed animal, later named Trigger, (Stripped Tiger) and Tyson a little weasel wobble thing that was attached to a ball that he could chase around. Thanks Daddy! Liv was cute, she said Thanks mom and dad for taking me to the zoo. Such a Sweety.

After the Zoo we went to Honey and Poppy's and played on the swings and slide, then off to dinner, California Pizza Kitchen.  Honestly dinner was a little bit of a disaster. We had an interesting waiter, I'm pretty sure he didn't know what he was doing...He couldn't stop talking and then it was just one thing after another, two hours later, we finally left the restaurant.  First my mom spilled her water all over the table and straight into my lap.  Later I took liv to the bathroom and that was a bathroom drama that last about 15 minutes.  She didn't want me in the stall with her or have my help.  She needed to go potty more, but wouldn't sit back on the potty, then she didn't want to leave the bathroom. meanwhile her ice cream sundae is out on the table and the candle is about out.  Then when we get her out of the bathroom, on her first bite she spilled her ice cream all over herself.  It was so cute because she was so sad.  Lance laughed later that that was a 3 generation spillfest!  

We did have a funny moment though.  We saw Nicole and Weston Maughn come in and I tried to call her phone to tell her someone was watching them and freak them out but they didn't answer so we had our waiter go over and say, "Just so you know someone it watching you right now." and then he walked off, we were at the back of the restaurant so they couldn't see us right away but it was funny to watch them be so confused.   Finally they saw us because we were all laughing so hard.

At the end of the day, we had one more present for Liv, play dough ice cream maker, so she played with that and we got ready for bed. It's amazing for how tired she gets during the day, she sure goes to bed late.  But overall, it was a great day!
