callan's 2nd birthday: zoo america

The theme of this year's birthday was buffaloes. Since we were heading up to PA for Gene's spring break, we decided to take Callan to Zoo America in Hershey to see the buffaloes that they have there. Let's just say it was a MAJOR hit! We spent about an hour and a half looking at the buffaloes and 30 minutes looking at the rest of the zoo.

he also got new Nerf sandals (his Nerf ones from last summer were a big hit), a Fruit Loops shirt (compliments of Daddy) since he loves to say "Toucan," and a buffalo hat...which he wears all the time now and loves to point to it and tell everyone, "BUFFALO!!"

all ready for the Zoo (notice the buffaloes on his tray that had to come with us)

As soon as we got inside the first building, Gene said, "Callan look at these alligators!" Callan's reply was, "Buffalo?" That was his response to all the animals until we finally made a beeline to the buffalo pen. As you can see, Callan could care less about taking a quick picture with Mommy.

(oh, and he had to drag along his bubbles everywhere we went, too...I guess some kids have a security blanket, and some kids have security bubbles)
