Caldwell Zoo

We went to Tyler for the weekend and decided to take Andrew to the Caldwell Zoo. He had a good time, mostly riding in the stroller.

In front of the South Africa exhibit, if only the animals were closer!

Andrew wasn't too excited about the aquarium.

The leopards were beautiful!

He did enjoy the penguins.

It was a good time!

First Birthday Party

I love the book The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. I would read it to my class every year when I taught kindergarten and I thought how appropriate for a first birthday party! That was our theme for Andrew's birthday.

We had all of the foods the very hungry caterpillar ate in the book.

Birthday cake from the Butcher Shop in Longview. Grandmother and Granddaddy were so nice to bring it to our house!

Andrew's friends Gracie, Caroline, Kaden, and Nate came to the party

Opening gifts

What a fun day!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Andrew!
