Natalia's 4th bday

Natalka requested a trip to the zoo for her bday, and we were happy to accommodate with an adventure rather than stuff.  We were also happy to resist a kids' birthday party for another year.  ;)

 

I discovered a new species of bird! Natalka!

We were joined by Tia Yoli and 

... prima Jade :)
