Emily's Birthday Celebration: Part 4

On Saturday we celebrated Emily's actual birthday with a trip to the Cincinnati Zoo. Here are some pics of our day...

Before we left for Cincinnati.


Arriving at the zoo and meeting up with Pop and Mimi.
The whole gang...the Bevil's joined us for some fun in the sun!

Feeding the giraffe.
And again...

Sophie just relaxing...she did great in the heat!
Mimi feeding the goats.
This was as close to the goats as Emily would allow me to get with her.
Family photo op.

Watching the manatees and taking a break from the heat inside.

Emily's favorite part...riding the choo-choo.

Pretty much the coolest llama I have ever seen!


After spending 4 hours in the heat we went to Red Lobster for dinner. Emily LOVES to chomp on lemons...her face might not reflect it, but she was lovin' it. :)
Pop and Mimi had reserved a couple rooms at a hotel so we could enjoy a cool swim and overnight stay before heading back to Wilmore on Sunday. Here is Emily super excited about going "night night in the hotel."

All tucked in and ready for sleep.



On Sunday we went back home and opened a few gifts. Here is Emily with the book we got her. It is one of her favorites!
Pop and Mimi got her a doctor's kit.
And a new tricycle!We had a fun-filled birthday week and enjoyed every minute of celebrating Emily's life! She is such a blessing and we thank God for her every day!
