Last year we really wanted to do something with just us and Connor on his actual birthday. Since he was born so close to this little event we have, sometimes that isn't possible. This year Scott may not even see him on his birthday since it is Friday of the event. But we can look back to last year, on the day after he turned one, when we traveled to the Indianapolis Zoo for the first time.
To say he was excited is an understatement. His eyes were W-I-D-E open as soon as we walked into the oceans pavilion and he saw the brightly colored fish. We knew it had been a good choice to make the visit as soon as we saw his face light up.
Still has the wide eyes! This is in the dolphin dome - the only underwater viewing area in the World - where you are immersed under the dolphin pavilion and they swim around you.
He loved the Merry-Go-Round! Scott did not, so he took the photos. It is impossible for him to take a decent photo of me. Every time he does, I look like I do in the above photo. It's almost a game now. (I figure I might as well put a few up, or there may never be a photo of me on here!)
Family photo on the train, not our best one but we'll take it.
Surprise, surprise! Tony Stewart and his surprisingly tame Cheetah hanging out in the Plains exhibit. Seemed like a good guy, but a little stiff. I know bad joke, bad joke. 
At the end of the day, Scott got Connor a cute little polar bear that he sleeps with today. All in all, a great first visit, and a great first birthday. Here's to this weekend being just as nice as last year!
