Park Party

Lydia and Sarah wanted their 5th birthday party with the family at Peterson Park in Lodi. We all gathered together and enjoyed the great weather and great company.

Porter smiles on demand everytime you say "CHEESE."

Oh silly Lydia! For 5-10 minutes Lydia loved rolling down the hill and having fun. That night silly Lydia didn't have fun taking a bath and having the water sting her legs, back and arms leaving a red rash from the grass.

Porter has so much fun with Gammie and Papa. Porter is growing up so fast.

When Aunt Whitney is around, Sarah is attached at Whitney's hip.

Sarah is always Monkeying around!

Lydia is so strong.

McKenzie was looking forward to spending time with Cousin Erica. They always have the best time together.

Here is Cousin Erica, Natalie and Ryan

Papa better be glad that Porter is not a gassy toddler, especially with his face that close.

Papa and Gammie brought bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles to the park. I do think it was Papa's personal secret stash. I don't know who had more fun, Papa and Gammie or the kids.

Listen to this......

During the bubble fun, Uncle Ben notices down the street that this man is coming toward the park with these two parrots. He stops and talks with us and the two parrots perform for us. It was spectacular! After he left, Aunt Whitney told Sarah and Lydia that, that was their present from her and Ben. Later that week, Sarah comes up to me and says, "That was sure nice of Aunt Whitney and Uncle Ben to have the parrots come to our birthday party!"

Just gorgeous! We were all in Ah....

The weather was to windy that we faked blowing the candles out. I asked Lydia and Sarah what special cake did they want for their party. Lydia wanted my moms famous Sherry cake and Sarah wanted Scott's moms famous Lemon cake.
The park was quiet as we all were enjoying the cake.

Here are some photos of the great presents that they received.
This day was special because of all the wonderful people who attended and made it so.
