Blog | Birthday
While Jason was out of town, the girls and I got on a plane to visit Grandpa (my Dad) for a big birthday. We were very excited, but I’m pretty sure my Dad was even more excited! The flight there was uneventful – the girls were great!
M even took a nap (the promise of the iPad is very, very powerful…)!
The first day of our visit, we went to a local museum to see the dinosaurs exhibit…the moving dinosaurs! The girls loved the idea, but when they saw those gigantic creatures moving around, it made them a wee bit nervous. But, they overcame and had a great time!

Both girls said this one was their favorite – “he’s nice” was a common phrase.
T-Rex!
The museum also had a fun pioneer village and some animal exhibits and play areas. B loved this loft bed, and M loved the little porch chair “just he
Lots of fun!
While M napped, B made a new friend – Carly! It was great seeing B overcome her typical hesitancy with dogs – she loves Carly!
The next day was the big birthday.
We had fun at a local playground (it was BEAUTIFUL outside!), and got together with my brother and his wife (Uncle Bryan and Aunt Janet) that night. Birthday pictures!
After dinner, we picked up birthday cupcakes. The girls couldn’t/wouldn’t agree, so they each got their own for Grandpa (he told them to pick).
Our last day was unexpectedly extended when our original flight got cancelled. We got home quite late, but we had fun and the girls were troopers! It helped that we had an Olaf sighting at the airport…
…and again, the promise of electronics is powerful…
Happy Birthday Dad/Grandpa!
