Birthday Party

Last weekend we went to Andy’s 7th birthday party. It’s the 4th year in a row we’ve attended his party and we wouldn’t miss it. This year it was held at a local children’s farm and garden.

They got to touch chicken, and went on a scavenger hunt looking for things around the farm.

My favorite part was watching Ally and her friends taste new things. The farmers picked different herbs for them to try; marjoram, chives, basil, cilantro. Then lettuce and nasturtium flowers. Ally was a good sport and tasted everything!

Then they picked eggplant and squash.

Sliced up the veggies and then cooked them up for snack.

It was a fun party. Ally even ate her whole piece of carrot cake!

After the birthday party we went to a BBQ at Charlie and Gwei’s house. Ally was the only little kid there so she spent most of the evening inside the warm house watching TV on my iPhone.

But the highlight of the whole day was that Lauren skyped us from Hawaii. Ally was thrilled to talk to Lauren and see where she lives. Everyday since then she has asked “what time is it in Hawaii”.
