The party started at 5pm; and we arrived a little before then (thanks to a late nap for Andrew). The line was pretty long (the zoo stops letting people enter at 430pm so they can get non-members out of the zoo). I was worried about how long it would take to get inside, but thankfully, my worries were all for naught. The line zoomed by and we were inside the zoo in no time!
Andrew and I walked around the zoo seeing animals and getting the necessary stamps for his booklet to receive the prize at the end. We passed the area for face painting and Drew said he wanted to get his face painted so we waited in line for that. The line was fairly long again, but he said he wanted to wait it out. And then when his turn came up, he whined that he didn't want one after all. Well, the stubborn mom that I am said wasn't about to let all that time we stood in line go to waste. So, I told him that we would watch the other kids get their faces painted and then he could get his done (hopefully). After watching two other kids, he was finally ready! Whew!! He chose a giraffe; and the gentleman airbrushed it on. Personally, I think the air brushing method is pretty cool and also nice because it's relatively quick.
Afterwards, we continued on collecting stamps and also hit up the bouncy houses they had on the way to the African Forest. Then, we saw some kids dressed up in various animal costumes who were stopped there for some photo opps. Andrew said he wanted to get his picture taken with the giraffe (it was all about the giraffes today). Then, he took a picture with the monkeys. For some reason, he didn't want to take a picture with the lion.
Anyways, we got all his stamps and it was time to head home. Andrew's prize was an animal coloring book, which he was excited about. Again, Zoobilee didn't disappoint and I am glad we got to go.
