David's Birthday

Today was David's birthday. We didn't do a lot on the day besides have a steak BBQ at home and just spend time together. We just had a couple of day trips while Regan and Jen were out and have lots of things planned for this coming week when Debbie and Tim come out. So we thought we would take it easy this week.

On Friday we went to Marineland for a little picnic to walk around and see the animals. It's amazing how much more Sarah seems to enjoy it each time we go. On Thursday we went to Tony Roma's for all you can eat ribs. This is something that David has wanted to do for quite some time, so his birthday seemed like a great time. Too bad that dinner out with a one year old isn't exactly a relaxing experience. Hence dinner at home yesterday while Sarah was in bed...much more relaxing.

I can't believe how long her hair is already. The pigtails have become her daily "look." With the weather being so warm she seems happiest to have her hair off her neck. Cute too!

While at Marineland there was a band playing. Sarah enjoyed grooving to the music and turning in circles on the grass.

Sarah LOVED feeding the animals, especialy the bears! She watched David throw some marshmallows into the bears mouths and wanted to take part right away.

Every time she would throw a marshmallow through the fence she would squeal with joy...so funny!

The observation area is perfect for kids since it allows them to see all the bears and be able to feed them. Feeding the animals is very encouraged at the park. They sell different kinds of food all over the park. Last time we went to Marineland we took note of what they sold for animal food and the lists of what the animals like to eat. Then we just brought our own food for the animals. Who knew bears love marshmallows and corn pops!?!

Then it was time to visit the deer. As soon as David started feeding the deer corn pops they started to follow us. Within minutes we had a huge heard of deer following us. David thought this was great, Sarah wasn't too sure.

Today David wants to go to the Flea Market in the afternoon, so it seems that's the plan... should be interesting. Life is good. We're thankful for our central air AC with the warmer temperatures and looking forward to our next guests arriving. More good times with my cousins Debbie and Tim.
