I was very lucky this year and had an amazing birthday. I told Rob there were two things I wanted to do for my birthday, take Cooper to the Minnesota Zoo (for the first time) and have sushi for dinner. So that was the plan. We ended up getting a later start in the morning than planned so we didn't end up getting to the zoo until around 1:00 which is right during nap time, so both of us were a little nervous. Cooper was so excited to see the animals but after he saw the monorail that took priority - we absolutely had to go there first. It was so great to watch him get excited about the animals and enjoy the zoo as much as I do. I had heard advertisements for the Wells Fargo family farm and while we were on the monorail Cooper saw the tractor rides and absolutely HAD to go on them. Since it was getting late we quickly went through the zoo and headed out for a tractor ride. While I was slightly annoyed at our delayed start it actually worked in our favor. By the time we headed to the farm the majority of the people had left and there were only three other families on the tractor ride and at the farm with us! We got to feed the baby farm animals and walk around at our leisure.
After a long day at the zoo and no nap we decided there was no way Cooper could sit through dinner at a sushi restaurant so we ended up stopping at a buffet and settling for Chinese food. I am so lucky to have my two wonderful boys!
