Blake's party at the park

Blake decided that he wanted a party in the park with his friends to celebrate his birthday. Lucky for us, the weather was beautiful...you couldn't ask for better weather the end of February! Once we got to the park, the kids all ran around and played for a bit and then we headed over to the pavillion to eat cupcakes. After inhaling cupcakes, the kids headed down to the pond to admire (or torture!) the geese. We ended up staying over there for about 45 minutes or so before heading back to the playground to run around some more. We were at the park for about 4 hours and the kids were pretty tired, but had a blast.

some of the brave geese! Once they realized we didn't have food, they were off down the pond.










These swings are a favorite for my boys. This was the first time that Jacob swung upside down though. He was like this for quite awhile.



We all had such a wonderful time and Blake received many thoughtful and wondeful gifts: a plant, felted juggling balls (complete with bells), a feather, lots of homemade cards, a pirate pouch and a geode! We gave all the kids some little treasures as well...arrowheads, pyrulite and polished tiger's eye stones.
