Party @ the Park

So for my birthday today, Jono made some yummy sandwiches and we had a picnic at the park. It was so much fun!

Keyan must have been feeling adventurous, because he climbed across a set of monkey bars (which he has never even come close to attempting before).

Our camera doesn't have sound, but when Keyan climbs onto the platform and raises his arms,

he is shouting, "I did it! Yay! I did it!"

There is seriously nothing so sweet as the pure joy of a child.

And all I wanted for dessert was some fresh cherries, so that was my birthday "cake" :)

The Zoo

Keyan has two cousins all born within a few weeks of each other, so we had a big family birthday party this past Saturday at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake City.  

We saw lots of animals,

 but the bird show was by far the coolest thing that day.  The birds are trained to orchestrate the entire show on their own (they took their cues from the music on the overhead speakers).  We had perfect seats, too. The birds grazed our heads several times as they swooped over the audience. 

To finish off the day, we rode the Zoo Train-

nothing spectacular for Jono or me, but Keyan was fascinated by it, so I guess it was worth the three bucks :0)
