My best friend, Lisa, and I have birthdays that are only 10 days apart, even though we were in different grades in school. So weird! It's been fun to have our birthdays so close though. Now that she lives relatively close again, we try to get together to celebrate our birthdays together. This year we decided to meet at Gardner Village, go to lunch and look around at the little shops. Just a fun, relaxing day together. I ended up with kids tagging along, but it wasn't that bad. I had Preston in the stroller and had to keep him in the middle of the aisles so he wouldn't break anything, but other than that, we had a great time. The kids LOVED the petting zoo and we enjoyed it too. Here are a few pictures I took of our day out together.
Dylan riding "the real merry-go-round" as he calls it.
He got to ride twice because he was really well behaved all day.
Notice his serious "cowboy face" in some of the pictures. :)
Preston was so cute at the petting zoo. The kid had no fear, but was very gentle with all the little animals. He LOVED the goats and gave and received kisses from several of them. Dylan loved the animals too, which was no surprise to me. He was born an animal lover. Lisa and I got a kick out of the funny donkey. So cute!
Some of the animals we saw
We got some candy before we left and fed the ducks in the pond. Dylan was sporting his green tongue from his dippin' sticks while Preston dug in the sack for taffy. Preston didn't get a nap that day, which is evident in his very grumpy face. Overall we had a really fun day. I love Lisa and can never get enough friend time in! :) Happy birthday, girlie!

This day was so much fun! I love hanging out with you, and I got the greatest kick out of Preston saying, "No you knock it off!" Hope I didn't teach him something bad that you didn't want him to learn! He probably forgot! Thanks for such a fun day! I will have to post my pictures soon, too. Happy Birthday to you, too!
Nope, he hasn't forgotten, but I'm pretty sure you didn't teach him. His new favorite sayings seem to be "stop it", "knock it off", and "basta". Makes me wonder how often I discipline my poor kids if that's what he's picking up on. When we were at Flaming Gorge he was in the double stroller with Kenya, who was screaming. He was so cute. He said, "Shhh, shhh. Basta. No llore." It was in a cute soothing voice too. I can't believe he can say a whole sentence in Spanish like that. Crazy kid!
I'm so glad you have a fun birthday buddy and what a fun day!
