We celebrated my mom's 60th birthday last Saturday March 30th!
It was a wonderful day...a little cooler than we were hoping for but we had a great time regardless. We started out at the Como Zoo with the whole family and walked around the conservatory and jungle area before heading out to see the animals.
I think the polar bear was the biggest hit of all! Linnea and I have been to the zoo plenty of times and never have we seen the bear playing so much! The kids all had a front row view of the bear splashing away, playing with a huge plastic pickle and white garbage pail. The kids all flinched everytime he did anything causing a splash.
When all the animals had been seen and we worked up an appetite we headed back to my parents house where we had hot turkey sandwiches, chips, salad, beans and fruit. When lunch was finished the kids played a bit before grandma opened her presents. She got a special grandma charm necklace from all her grandkids and many other special nice gifts! Lisa and Dylan made some cake pops and I made a poppyseed cake for dessert.
We of course brought the kids to the park for a little while and then we thought it would be fun to try to my moms new game Quiddler while the two remaining kiddoes watched Toy Story with their supper. It actually sort of worked!
Hopefully mom enjoyed her special day! We sure did!
