This week kicked-off our 5-month birthday marathon. Someone we know will be blowing out candles every couple of weeks from now until August.
On Thursday, Mayie (aka Paula) turned [age classified] while Aunt Aimee celebrated the Big 4-0. Unfortunately, we weren't able to celebrate their big day in person. But, on Saturday morning, we were able to go to a birthday party for Buttons the Hippo at Adventure Aquarium.
Before Buttons came out for her party, Morgan checked out another new exhibit at the aquarium: the rare and exotic "Giant Daddy Head" (species: cranium paterus maximus).
Finally, Buttons and Genny came out and quickly gobbled up a mountain of hay and birthday watermelon while everyone sang "Happy Birthday".
Another big attraction at the Hippo birthday party was the guest appearance by the Backyardigans. Unfortunately, Morgan still has an irrational fear of adults dressed up as cartoon characters. So we had to take pictures of Tyrone the Moose hugging other peoples' kids instead. (Oh well, maybe next year.)
Outside the aquarium, Morgan climbed aboard the giant sea turtle and smiled pretty for the camera. (So at least we got one "keeper" photo for Mayie and Aimee's birthday.)
