Happy Birthday Pistol Pete!

On Sunday, 10-10-10, we went to Pistol Pete's 87th birthday party at the zoo! This was Elliott's first trip to the zoo, and let me just say . . . she wasn't very interested in the animals just yet. We sort of expected that, but it was still fun! Elliott did enjoy watching all the kids! We walked around and looked at all the animals for a couple of hours and then headed to the front to celebrate with Pistol Pete. We sang happy birthday, there was cake, and got our picture made with our mascot . . . again! It was a fun afternoon!

Welcome to the zoo! This picture is a little blurry, but it was the coolest animal.

It's a red panda, but looks more like a cross between

a raccoon and a fox!

The meerkats

Galapagos tortoise

A pygmy hippo
The rhino

Lions, tigers, and gorillas, OH MY!

With grandpa and dad

All tuckered out!
