Ciara celebrates her 29th birthday

New mom Ciara skipped out on popping bottles this year and decided to celebrate her 29th birthday with a super casual trip to the Central Park Zoo along with her 5-month-old son, Future Zahir Wilburn; BFF La La Anthony and La’s son, Kiyan.

It’s So Cool When The Whole Restaurant Sings For You. But Man I Get Shy… But I will say this.. There’s nothing like knowing you’re loved. There’s nothing like being able to have the best fun by doing the simplest things with the people you love. While there’s so much I want to achieve in life, I have to stop and thank God for all that I’ve achieved thus far! Thank you for blessing me with the best team, friends, and family anyone could ask for! Thank you for EVERYTHING. Definitely Looking forward to the years ahead, as I have FAITH big enough to move a mountain, and I know they will be AMAZING!! #Thankful #TrulyBlessed. #ChillBirthday. #1Of TheBestBirthdays #Family #Love

While Anthony held on to baby Future, CiCi and Kiyan explored the exhibits and snapped candids in front of large creatures, including a giant sized turtle egg. “A Turtle Laid An Egg, and This Came Out! #GoldenEgg!#PerfectBirthdayFun.”

Following their trek through the zoo, Ciara and crew enjoyed a snack and the “Body Party” singer was serenaded with the birthday song. For more photos from Ciara’s birthday outing to the zoo, hit the flip. –ruthie hawkins/@ruubabie
