The National Zoo for Haydin's Birthday

This weekend we again made the trek down to DC.  This time it was for our other niece's birthday, Haydin, turning the big 2.  She had a monkey themed party with delicious monkey cupcakes (made by her amazing baker mom, Kari) and we got to go to the zoo to see the real monkeys.  The weather was gorgeous and the animals were fun to see.  Although, the giraffes and hippos are no longer there, we got to see pandas, elephants, chimps, gorillas, lions, tigers and much more.  Hannah and Haydin didn't get too into the animals, all they cared about were treats (you'll see in the pics).  Especially Haydin, there is nothing she loves more than M&M's and how can you deny her on her birthday?

Stella's first time entering a zoo.
The girls already found ice cream machines at the entrance...

Stella and Mike watching the elephants, those seemed to be her favorite.  I guess they were the easiest to focus on:)
 
Birthday Girl. She seriously loves M&M's.
