Meadow's Big Birthday Surprise

Meadow is turning 2 in just a few short weeks. We will be heading to NY this coming Thursday for a week and coming back on her actual birthday. We got her an awesome playhouse for her birthday and wanted to put it together this weekend so that she would be able to enjoy it before we left on our trip. We also knew we wouldn't have any time to put it together when we got back so that it could be a surprise and already put together instead of in a box. Todd got the lucky job of putting it together while I took Meadow to the zoo for the day. We had a great day and Meadow walked for four hours and probably around 2 miles all by herself. I brought a backpack just in case she got tired and she didn't want to get in it once. She did eat a great lunch and sat in her high chair for a good half hour. I guess we just need to get a couple hours of walking in before we go out to eat. Todd also had a good day and got the house put together in four hours so he could go kayaking for a little while before the big birthday reveal.

Here are the amazing sea lions, which all the kids loved. They are so beautiful swimming in the water.
A picture of us in front of the elephants, which you can't really see in the picture. Do you like how Meadow is perched on my belly. I keep wondering what the baby thinks when Meadow likes to sit on him.
Look at how mini Meadow looks in this photo.


The big birthday reveal. She was so excited when she saw it. Way to go Todd for putting this together. Rita and Steve met up with us because this was a big part of their birthday gift to her as well. We had a wonderful dinner at the Rendevous afterwards.


The house has a doorbell, a sink with faucets, bbq, puppet theatre and a basketball hoop on the outside. She has been having a blast the past few days playing.

Wow, that is an awesome playhouse! Jonah and I would love to come see it in person sometime. Hope you have a wonderful trip and are all in good health by the time you take off. Can't wait to celebrate with Meadow when you return!
