We also got to be close to the "e-wants". This elephant was giving himself a mud bath! 
This boy was completely zoo'd out! What a fun Saturday! We plan to be visiting the zoo a lot this spring and summer. The penguin exhibit opens up next weekend! Woohoo!
Daddy asked what I wanted to do for the evening, and my wish was to spend it with my 2 most favorite boys! I cooked a pot roast with carrots and potatoes because they both absolutely love it! We also had special cupcakes for dessert from Cupcakes on the Ridge! I got some beautiful yellow roses with pink tips from my valentine! 
He LOVED his strawberry cupcake! Happy-times Day to you!
