I went to bed super early Friday hoping to feel better for Sarah's party, and luckily enough, no fever, just some joint pain.
Sarah got a birthday donut with a candle and a few presents in the morning. She was suppose to be sleeping, but she woke up and had to wait on our bed until we had everything ready :-)!
Then we got all our stuff ready and took off to Sarasota Jungle Gardens to get ready for the party. There were more than one party this day, and we were lucky to get the only shady spot.
Lots of shade trees in the picnic area
The picnic area, almost ready for the party
Some of our visitorsThey were a total of 8 kids, just perfect. In this picture it is Sarah and the girls from her class, the others were still eating:
It was very warm, probably around 38 C in the shade, so we were glad we had a cooler full of cold drinks and water. We had ordered pizza delivered to the park, and after everyone ate one of the zookeepers came up with Oreo the Skunk. He was sooo cute! Even if he did not have his stink glands anymore, he still had a very musky odor to him. The dogs went nuts when they smelled Sarah's t-shirt later that day!
After Oreo we got to meet Peter Pan, a one year old alligator. Luckily he had some tape around his snout, because he looked like he wanted to eat someone!
Sarah is a little shy during the Happy Birthday song
After the party Ken's mom came with us home and decided to stay the night, so we took the opportunity and took her out for a Mother's Day dinner at the Outback Steakhouse.
Sunday it was Water Park Day! We took off at 8 AM and arrived just before they opened at 10 AM. You are allowed to bring coolers, so we had one packed with drinks and food for the day. Sarah LOVED the water park, she said it was better than Disney's Magic Kingdom!
We had a really fun day, but I tell you, most of those rides are really high up, and you have to carry your inner tubes up long, steep stairs to get to them. Lets just say I am not in tip top form...
We spent over 6 hours there, riding and having fun. I can really recommend Typhoon Lagoon, it was great fun! I am just glad I managed to apply sunscreen good enough that nobody got sunburn... Next weekend we are off to the other Disney water park, Blizzard Beach. Should be fun!
Now I am going to run a few errands, I have to take the dogs out, then off with some papers to Ken's office, and then I have to find a new bathing suit. I need a good one piece. My old tankinis are on their last leg... Have a great day everyone!

Vad skönt att du mådde så mycket bättre dagen D!!!!
Och vilket underbart kalas! Sarah måste varit sååå lycklig! Inte varje dag man får chansen att hålla i och klappa djur sådär! :-)
Härligt!
Grattis i efterskott till din stora tjej!!!
Wow vilken helg och vilket firande Sarah fick. Jag förstår mycket väl att hon inte hade ro att ligga och sova då det vankades födelsedagsfirande. En mycket lycklig och söt födelsedagstjej på första kortet med en hel hög jättefina presenter.
Vad fint ni hade ordnat i djurparken. Dukat upp så vackert och mysigt. Skunken var ju hur söt som helst! Passande att ge honom namnet Oreo. Det märks att Sarah både gillar djur och är väldigt van vid djur. Hon räds inte alls av att hålla allt från skunk till alligator. Hon måste varit hur nöjd som helst med dagen och födeledagsfirandet. Det hade jag garanterat varit. Sedan hela dagen därpå i vattenparken. Det är så att man nästan blir lite smått avis. Vilken toppenhelg och så bra att du mådde mycket bättre så att du orkade med allt det roliga. Jättefina bilder och filmsnutt. Ha en bra start på veckan.
Kram!
Jag har själv alltid gillat djur av alla de sorter och Sarah har liksom fått lära sig att alla djur är lika värda, även läskiga ormar och insekter. Hon får dock inte röra ormar och spindlar utan att fråga fördt, eftersom det finns så många konstiga sorter här i Florida. Man kan höra alla flamingo i bakgrunden på skunk-videon!
Åh vilket härligt födelsedagsfirande Sarah fick! Kul med djuren och väldigt passande tårta!
Vilken SÖÖÖT skunk! Åh, jag är allt lite avis på Sarah som fick ett så mysigt födelsedagsparty! Tänk vad mysigt att få klappa så ovanliga djur, och att ha flamingos gående runt och busa när man äter! Nu kom barnet fram i mig : )
Tyckte inte Peter Pan att det var lite jobbigt med tejpen? Eller de kanske inte bryr sig? Oreo är bara för söt!!!
Skönt att du mådde bättre, allt blir så mycket roligare då.
Kram!
Jag gillade inte det där med tejpen, men det är tydligen mjuk eltejp, och han andas ju genom näsborrarna som är ovanpå. Det är nog ganska standard av vad jag har sett på olika ställen här i Florida. Det är ju det eller ett par fingrar mindre! :-)
