Veronica's 9th Birthday

I apologize for this being a day late enjoy!

Sunday was Veronica’s 9^th birthday and to believe she is almost a decade old.

A little over a week before her birthday, our neighbor Karen told us about the Frank Buck Zoo in Gainesville. Veronica had said she wanted to go to Lake Ray Roberts and have a picnic something she has wanted to do for years. She had even mentioned she would rather go to the zoo instead of the lake so we decided to surprise her and go to the zoo. Both of my parents had felt that Veronica would be disappointed if we did not go to the Lake so they decided to tell her about the zoo, she was excited indeed. I personally think she would have done fine if she were surprised in a moments notice.

Therefore, she woke up on her birthday, ate French toast for breakfast opened up her presents, and got ready to go. Mommy was not feeling good so she stayed home. When we arrived, we bought our way in and started our way through. It was a nice little zoo with a variety of animals. 

If veronica had to choose, an animal she enjoyed looking at it would be the prairie dogs her response to them “they were so adorable.” We finished up and ate a little snack. They had a train you could ride; Veronica took her picture with the conductor.

 

We went through the exhibits again. This time Veronica was able to feed the goats.

Towards the end, something funny happened that I could not pass up to tell. We were looking at some dears, when daddy was looking at them and started to run back and forth making noises. We asked him why he was doing that he said he wanted the dear to run along side with him. Moreover, what was the dear doing? Looking at daddy probably thinking he was crazy.

We went back to the beginning of the trail and stood in front of this statue to get our picture taken as a group. Daddy was trying to find a timer on the camera so he could be in the picture too. When all of a sudden a woman with hair colored hot pink offered to take the picture for us. No, she was not part of one of the exhibits to look at, but she did take a nice picture of the four of us.

After the zoo, we went and got dinner at Golden Chick and veronica got an ice cream cone. We came home and told mommy about our day. As I was finishing this blog post, I asked veronica how she would like to wrap up her birthday. She told me playing with her presents would be nice.

Happy 9^th Birthday Veronica! Your Big sister Mylea loves you.

Until next time this is Mylea Janis Teresa saying God bless, Be Joyful and don’t forget to Pray!
