Birthday Girl

It was so easy to come up with a theme for Audrey's birthday this year.  She loves anything to do with cheetahs, leopards and jaguars:

We had a little party at the playground with some of her friends

Even the Anderson side of the family get to do "Heavy, Heavy hang over your head!"

She loves her new ride!

Natural History Museum

We took a trip to the museum on a rainy Saturday afternoon with Nana and Papa:

My junior paleontologists digging for bones

We started reading "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" to Elaina... she is just getting to the part where Aslan enters the scene!

It's all about cheetahs, leopards and jaguars for this little lady- this jaguar display was the highlight for her!

Owen was so exctied to find this sperm whale jaw displayed- he is fascinated with the sperm whale/colossal squid stories from the ocean deep!

3 of my very favorite ladies!

Crazy Balloon Man

Every year our neighborhood does a Family Fun Day with huge inflatables, carnival games, prizes, food, face painting, etc.  This year there was a man making balloons for the kids who was amazing.  It took him almost 30 minutes just to do our kids' balloons because he custom makes them.

Audrey asked for a cheetah, Elaina got her cute penguin (made with 4 balloons) and Owen asked for a shark- he got a shark eating a seal because the balloon guy thought that would be cool... Owen agreed!
