Mikey's 2nd Birthday

This past weekend we were lucky enough to get to help Mikey celebrate his 2nd birthday. He had his party at Randall Oaks Park and Barnyard Zoo. I have to say I am jealous that Melissa has this awesome place so close to her house!! The grounds house a couple of playgrounds, lots of wide-open space, and an awesome petting zoo that is perfect for toddlers! All of this was of course right up Mia's alley (who was in a bit of a funk until the cake appeared, hmmmmm.....) Mia got to feed several different animals, had a ball playing on the playground, and was thrilled with her party favor (more on that later). Here are some pictures:

She was NOT getting the concept here at all!

So back to the party favors....At the end of the party Melissa pulled out a bag with a bunch of little ponies on a stick. Mia was so excited to get hers and instantly had a new best friend. Look how happy she is!

And snuggled fast asleep with her new buddy
I should also add that my suitcase was in the car and I had directions printed to the hospital in case I went into labor. :) We were a little further from home than usual, so I made sure to take proper precautions! :)
