Our last full day in Los Angeles was also Madeline's tenth birthday. She wanted to visit the zoo for her special day. We have been to the LA Zoo sooo many times, but this trip was, by far, the most exciting.
While observing the giraffes, we heard a large cracking noise, and then a tree fell blocking the walking path. We got to see the giraffes run and watch them eat from the fallen tree up close. The chimpanzees were in rare form running around, screeching at each other, and even throwing things at each other. It was very exciting to watch.
After the zoo, Madeline wanted to get her ears pierced. I thought she would back out, but she did it!
She chose peridot earrings, her birthstone. We let Sophie pick out a pair of clip-ons, too.
Then we headed back to Natalie's to celebrate Maddie's big day with friends, cake, pool, and pizza. It was really cool to be able to celebrate at the same time she was born just a block from the hospital.
Our trip was a great way to wrap up our summer! Happy Birthday, Madeline!
