June 22, 2000-Tommy's 2nd Birthday!

Let's go to the zoo!

But first- let's open some presents!

Happy birthday Tommy! (Left) Tommy is surprised by Bear from "Bear in the Big Blue House" (Bottom) Tommy shows just how much he liked the present.

Okay! Let's go to the Toledo Zoo!!!

(Left) Samantha came with us along with her Mom and Dad, Debby and Howard. Thanks to the Bossio's for loaning us their cool new van!
Tanya & Liam, and Nadine & Malik also joined us in our celebration.

Oh look! An egg!
Did Tommy just hatch out of that egg?

Oh look!  Sammy's in there too!
Look how cool she is in those glasses!

It was my Mommy's birthday too! Her boss was nice enough to give her the day off!

See the rhino?

Okay, the ostrich is cool and all. . .
But, can we take a break?

The safari group: (L-R) Tommy (passed out), Samantha (you can't see it- but they're holding hands!) Malik, Nadine, Debby, Tanya, Ted, Liam, Howard, and Howie. Funny: Maria isn't in the picture because the camera's timer outran her!

When we got to the parking lot- we had a flat!!! We were the the last ones to leave, and we had parked all the way to the back, so no one could see us to help. Lucky for us Nadine drove too, and the kids had fun running around the never-ending parking lot!

We finally made it to dinner!!! Two hours late, but we made it!

Daddy- "Peeeeek. . ."

"BOO!"

Make a wish Tommy!!!

Thanks Lolo and Lola for a great dinner at Mountain Jack's!

At right: (L-R) Lolo Reden, Ted, Lola Annie, Tommy, Maria, Cortney, and JR.
