Owen's Fourth Birthday at Melbourne Zoo.

Regan did a great job organising a fantastic birthday celebration for Owen. It started with a 10:00 am Saturday morning start at Melbourne Zoo and finished with Sunday lunch and a beaut four candle chocolate cake at the Yacht Club.

We all met outside the main gate where 'zoo' bags, made up by Regan, were given out to the kids. The bags were full of delights including special binoculars, i spi sheets and a big favourite... cookies in the theme of zoo animals professionally made by Meredith. 

An obligatory coffee (for the adults) then off to see the animals. Taking on the role of expedition leader Owen navigated around the exhibits like a professional, never covering the same track twice and at a pace which kept the group scurrying.

We lost the obligatory one boy somewhere around the Butterfly Enclosure but reunited him with his Mum upon mounting a successful search party.

Some pics below. Happy Birthday Owen.

Sorry Gran, Too busy. I'm off to the Zoo.
