Charlie's Birthday

Guess who just turned three? Well, it was actually over a month ago but I've been so busy I haven't gotten a chance to update this blog. I know, I'm horrible. But, better late than never. Charlie's birthday was on a Saturday so we took him to the zoo. Why did we pick his 3rd birthday to do this?! As soon as they turn 3 you have to buy them a ticket. Oh, well.

Watching the train. Yes, the petting zoo is literally right under a train track. Depressing, I know. Charlie was more excited about the train than most of the animals!

To tell the truth, it wasn't the most fun trip ever. It was extremely hot that day and Charlie was really whiny. For whatever reason, the automatic sliding doors at one of the exhibits filled him with existential terror. Despite his bad attitude, we were nice parents and got him this little green monkey (of course he picks the only stuffed animal in that shop that's not a natural color!) at the gift shop and a little lunch at Burger King.
