Tommy and Maria's
2002 Annual Birthday Trip to the Toledo Zoo
June 22, 2002
Tommy celebrated his 4th birthday at The Toledo Zoo with his Mommy (who's b-day it was too!) and some friends.

For the first time ever, this year's trip included some of the daddies too! JR (Zack's daddy), Josh (Liam's daddy) and Shannon (Malik's daddy)came along.

Attendees included:

Joshua, Tanya & Liam

Shannon, Nadine & Malik

JR, Cortney & Zack

And of course Tommy & I!
Right: "Best Friends"- Maria and Tanya cooling off with some frozen lemonade.
The day started off really... slow. What with Tanya's power shutting off and their alarm not working and JR and Cortney sleeping in- instead of leaving at around 8, it was more like 12!!! Then, there was JR and Cort getting lost... LOL!!!
Left: Tanya sharing more frozen lemonade with Nadine.
97 Degrees!!! That's what the temperature was for the day!
You can bet we tried to stay INSIDE- spending a lot of time in the fave hippo house, polar bear exhibit (note all the pics from there!), insect exhibit, aquarium, etc.

New B-Day Rule: If the temperature is above 80 degrees, we're going to go to the Toledo Children's Museum instead of the Zoo!!!

After the Zoo we celebrated our birthdays- Mine, Tommy's, Cort's, and Zack's- with my Mom, Dad, and Sean Spencer at Beni Hana's in Livonia. YUM!
