Dwarf Zebut! (aka the Bubbles Book Debut!)

I have always looked forward to my wedding for one reason. No, not the dress. The people! It is totally my dream to have everyone I love right there in one place celebrating. Plus, cake. 

Saturday night’s “Bubbles Debut” party was pretty close to that dream. Including cake! I was so impressed and pleased with the turn out at the party. There were Zoo people, family people, Nerinx/Vianney people, DePauw people, tennis people, older sister’s people, neighbor people and even a few stranger people (but, hey, the more the merrier, right?). And it was awesome. 

I felt a little bit like Santa Claus as everyone waited to come forward to purchase their books. But I was truly happy to see and talk to everybody. I want to thank everyone that came to the party. It was certainly an event I will remember forever.

And that was some pretty sweet cake. 

A few highlights below!

Happy Birthday Bubbles!

Today just happens to be Bubbles’ ninth birthday! What better day to celebrate the release of “Bubbles the Dwarf Zebu” at the Zoo!

For Zoo Member’s Day this evening, we had a splendid “Bubbles” themed celebration in the Children’s Zoo–complete with cake, coloring, birthday wishes and a special surprise (a life size Bubbles pinata!) for the birthday girl!

The lovely, late spring evening was the perfect setting for the celebration. Bubbles enjoyed several choruses of children singing “Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo” (to the tune of “Happy Birthday”). Many came up to greet and scratch our fine cow. Shouts of “There she is!” and “That’s Bubbles!” rang across the Children’s Zoo. No doubt the zebu enjoyed being the star of the show. 

Of course, books were on hand. I really enjoyed talking with visitors and showing off our beautiful, NINE YEAR OLD, dwarf zebu, Bubbles to our wonderful Zoo Members!

Enjoy the pictures above, showing some of the highlights of the party, including wishes children left for Bubbles inside of her cardboard cake. 

Many thanks to Alice Seyfried, Anne Bartin, Kim Hoorman, Emily Bowling, Christy Childs, Susan Gallagher and Greg Lockey for making the evening a success!
