Tracy Aviary

This last spring I had the chance to take Zoe to the Tracy Aviary. 

I decided to take some company with us. So I did not have just ONE kid with me.

Not just TWO kids

Yep that's right. I had THREE kids with me all 3 and younger. What was I thinking? 

Luckily, I brought my mom with to help.

Zoe loves feeding the birds and would hold still all day if she thought the birds would come and sit on her arm.

Zoe and her friend Journee.

 Zoe with her Grandma and her favorite cousin Croy.

All three kids ready to go home. 

Wheeler Farm with Becca

I just love these two girls. They are so fun to watch them play together. Valerie and I met up at Wheeler Farm for a picnic and fun.

Zoe's Toy Story Birthday Party

I know I've been terrible at updating my blog, but luckily I've already started planning Zoe's 3rd birthday party so it got me thinking about her 2nd birthday and how I have not posted pictures yet. So here you go...

 

Zoe's Turning Two Toy Story Birthday Party

 

 

The decor (we were actually moving, but I told everyone I packed boxes just to make it look like it was the from the Toy Story 1). The clouds were made out of floam I found at The Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. Then I added Zoe's Toy Story toys. I placed army guys throughout the room (also found at The Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.).

 

 

The table settings. Plates and napkins purchased from Zurchers.

 

 

The CAKE pops

I got Ham the Potato Head idea from here.

 

We also had pizza from "Pizza Planet" AKA Little Caesars.

 

 

Toy Story tattoos I got from Zurchers.

 

 

Every kid painted their own Woody or Buzz picture. I got them in packages of two at The Dollar Tree Stores, Inc.

 

 

For the thank you gifts Zoe handed these to her friends with a balloon.

Toy Story PEZ candies ordered from Amazon.com, baskets set of 3 for $1 at Target, Toy Story crayon boxes at The Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. 3 for a $1. Stickers and parachute army guys at Target. There were other candies mixed in there from Zurchers.

 

 

Here are the guests.
