MN Zoo Trip w/ The Burds and The Hoffmans

We headed to the zoo a few weeks ago to meet up with our friends the Burds and the Hoffmans. It was a "beastly" hot day, but Addy was introduced to her first splash pad near the grizzly bear exhibit...and as you'll see below, LOVED it!!

There was no fear looking directly into the spray holes and waiting for the water to gush up into her face...HILARIOUS!

Clearly she was into RUNNING around the splash pad...which was a little scarey for Mom & Dad!

I LOVE THE ZOO!









Happy 1st Birthday Addison Jean!

Happy 1st Birthday to our little girl...who turned 1 on July 29th! We can't believe how fast the first year flew by...(and we survived) :) Addy enjoyed her favorite pasttimes on her actual birthday...going to Chucky Cheeses and unrolling the toilet paper...both very FUN!

Addy's 1st Birthday Party!

Of course we were excited to throw Addy her 1st birthday party and much like her 1-month party...her Dad just couldn't resist!! This time the non-resistance party item was a bouncey turtle, which was so large we almost had to put it up in the neighbors yard. Oh and based on the size of the turtle the rental company threw in a snow cone machine to top it off...I'm pretty sure Vinh was drooling the entire time! In between drooling he managed to take over 400 pictures from the day...hence why it's taken me this long to update the blog...I have the attention span of a 1 year old and just picked out a few to share...ENJOY (we sure did!) :)





Will it fit? (Vinh supervising the set-up of Mr. Turtle)





Addy & Daddy enjoying the first bounces...check out the head on Mr. Turtle!



Mr. Turtle was just so kissable!



Addy had a blast bouncing around...literally, she didn't care how many times she fell down and rolled around!



Her favorite position...try this bouncing around!


Pre-birthday cake outfit


Family and friends singing "Happy Birthday"...and Addy just watching us all going..."you guys are crazy"!!



This frosting stuff is merely coincidental as Addy wasn't that interested in eating the cake or frosting...it just "happened" to get all over her! (hence the bath water was blue/green when we quickly washed her off!)
