Birthday party #1 pictures...

Isabella's first birthday party this year was celebrated at Chuck-E-Cheese & the zoo in Fargo. We met my mom, sister, & Kayla's boyfriend Kacey there. It was lots of fun & Isabella seemed to really enjoy it. She liked Chuck-E-Cheese so much that we plan to take her there again this winter & possibly for her birthday next year. She loved the games & I was surprised that the pizza actually tasted good. We had some coupons with so it was pretty cheap to buy lots of tokens for the games which meant we played tons of games. Isabella didn't want to pick out any prizes so my mom and I picked them out. Kacey & Kayla were nice enough to give all their tickets they won to Isabella, but I don't blame them since the prizes aren't anything someone older than 10 would want.

The zoo was lots of fun too, but Isabella ignored most of the animals so she could run down the paths instead. We got her a cute pair of green sunglasses with giraffes on the side, a couple of books about bugs (hopefully it will help her get over her fear of them) & a spider, which is gross, but Isabella loves them.

Again, the pics are not edited or in the correct order. I'm soooo close to being caught up on posting. Woo hoo!

Bellbell running by a peacock. She basically ran the entire time we were at the zoo & didn't pay too much attention to the animals.

Yes, it's a buffalo painted like a tiger. I don't know, so don't ask. I can't remember what they called it, but maybe Doug does.

Also, there's some people standing next to it.;)

Bellbell & daddy checking out the camels/lamas. I don't know my animals very well. What's your damn point?

They had a fenced in area where you could pet/feed goats, or sheep, or whatever they are. Bellbell seemed slightly interested in them, but would not pet any. Thankfully she didn't want to stay there to long because it smelled.
