Today marked the start of a new family tradition---each Nelson child gets a special outing with just mom and dad on their birthday. So, today, Avery turned two at the Brookfield Zoo. We had a terrific time; here are some fun pictures that we thought we'd share with you:
Avery drove Dan's station's H-3 to the zoo. She thought she was pretty cool, until she was demoted to the back.

Avery getting up close and personal with a guinea pig. She was confused as she associates the word pig with the snorting farm animal. So, she called it a rabbit, and squeezed it so hard that it squealed like a pig. Then we ran for the door, telling her that it was time for the rabbit to go night-night.

A fun end to the day -- a ride on the carousel. She loved it!
