The Vienna Zoo, was part of the imperial summer residence of Schönbrunn Palace! The palace being one of my favorite places in Vienna! The zoo was originally founded as an imperial menagerie in 1752.
The zoo is usually one of those first spots we hit when we move to a new place. For some reason, that was not the case in Vienna. We seem to have done everything completely different or backwards since we moved here.
We were excited when our friends invited us to their birthday party at the zoo. I thought Mollie was a brave soul for hosting this many kids in an open place like the zoo! Twenty three of them (one is missing from the picture in case you count) and 7 adults!
You know the saying "it's a bit like herding cats..." Definitely so with this many kids! They did really well staying together, I must say! I was still stressed out of my mind that someone would wander away.

We stopped here to have some cupcakes and open some presents!
