Birthday

Sage turned 4 on Friday. It's was a good week for her...a birthday party, a day at the zoo and treats galore.

This year her party was a birthday tea party complete with hot cocoa, scones, mini-blueberry muffins, tea sandwiches and cupcakes (the birthday girl served as assistant chef). I'm still getting the hang of this birthday thing so Sage was ripping open presents at lightning speed...next time I'll remember to prepare her a little more to slow down and be polite!

Sage's big gift this year was a day at the San Diego Zoo (our first time). We started the morning with blueberry pancakes (her favorite) and then headed for the zoo. The weather was just what we ordered, sunny and about 70 and the zoo was lovely. The animals were kind of sleepy and our feet were pretty tired by the end of the day but we were happy...any time we get to spend the entire day with Shane is a good day.


Her favorite part of the day was the Skyfari...a sky tram that flies you across the park


Skyfari again...underneath that kiddo is a little baby bump


Climbing a tree by the zebras


Poor kiddo fell asleep on the way home

We ended the night with some In N' Out, cupcakes and ice cream (and presents of course). All in all a good birthday.
