HBomb's Big 0-3!

Without asking permission, HBomb recently turned 3 years old!  We observed this momentous occasion in Argentina, marking the third different country that HBomb has celebrated his cumpleanos (In Virginia when he turned 1, in Mexico when he turned 2 and now this).  Quite the globe trotter.

It's my birthday, and I ain't got time to wait for nobody!

This year, the regular group of luminaries wanted to celebrate with HBomb.  John Kerry even made the trip (the press may have you believe the trip was for matters of state, but I think we all know he was here for the HBomb's big day).  Anne, Mark and the HBomb made time to give JK an audience, but the Secretary was running late and HBomb had other things to do, so they ended up ducking out early.  Sorry, Secretary Kerry, maybe next year.

But, HBomb did have time to make it to his favorite place, Temaiken Bioparque.

Temaiken is a zoo, I suppose, but it is run by a conservation foundation.  It has large habitats for the animals and is accredited by zoo organization-types.  Jane Goodall visited there when she was here.  This is to draw a contrast with the Buenos Aires zoo, which was sad, small, and recently shut down.

HBomb loves Temaiken.  First, to get there you get to ride in the car, which is suddenly one of HBomber's favorite things.  Second, you can run as far as you want in pretty much any direction.  Third, you can feed the fish and the animals at the petting zoo (sheep, goats and chickens).  So, it pretty much covers all the bases.

Baaaa!!!

And no birthday celebration is complete without a dinner and cake.  This round is Anne, Mark and the HBomb out for pizza and cake with our friends from the Belgrano neighborhood.  Happy Birthday, HBomb!
