party at the zoo

alex had a birthday party this weekend for phoenix at the zoo. immediately she got her face painted like a lion. she enjoyed a chocolate piece of cake. and she got to see and touch some animals. she got to pet a snake, an armadillo, and an oppossum. she also got to see a barn owl. then she enjoyed the rest of the zoo for a while with her friend sophie, who is also going to be an a.m. kindergartener - yay. alex has also been catching tons and tons of grasshoppers - she even caught a giant one that was hanging out on one of her sunflowers. we also bought all her school supplies and alex packed them all up in her backpark, so she is ready to go!
