I always look for an extra opportunity to celebrate people especially the kiddos. So enter the half birthday!. The girls were able to celebrate their half birthday first at the Zoo with the "storytime" group that Heather leads and then the next day at the waterpark.
The zoo was packed with schoolkids on field trip but there was still plenty of room to see all the animals. We had the typical zoo fun looking at the elephants and such, and then we did the "only in Guatemala" things like hold the howler monkey's hand and pet an Ocelot (small leapord thing) through the cages.
The next day was the true celebration. At the waterpark, which also has some animals, we found a new addition...an elephant wandering in the parking area. We walked over to it and pet its trunk. We were able to enjoy the pools and slides, ride horses, hold hands with the spider monkeys and let the baby racoons try to remove my rings. All unsupervised in true "only in Guate" fashion.
The girls had their friends over to share their "half" birthday cake (a round cake cut in half). All around a fun day!
