The party started bright and early when Macy walked into my room a little after 6am and said she couldn't sleep. She was "just too excited" for her birthday! Soon, everybody was up. It was going to be a long day...but a good one!
It's become tradition on birthdays to break out the window markers & draw to your hearts content! By the end of the day, the window is covered in ART.
Macy HAD to open a few presents before Mark left for work. She couldn't wait! Her favorites were the"McKenna" American Girl gymnastic doll clothes, the gym bag and the cast and crutches. Good thing Mom ordered early since everything went on backorder after the Olympics.
Our next adventure was to the ENCHANTED FOREST in Salem. We've driven by this place hundreds of times and wondered, "...what kind of people go there! Looks a little sketchy!" But, after doing a little research and talking to some friends that have been, we decided to check it out! It was pretty cool and the kids had a BLAST! We took Macy's best little friend with us and I chased everyone around (mind you...37 weeks pregnant) until Mark made it up there from work! Just a note for anyone thinking of going. This place is located on a mountain side. Come prepared to climb hills! I can't believe I didn't put myself in to labor!
Storybook Lane was the kids favorite! It was full of fairytales and nursery rhymes, slides and fun houses to peer in to and play in, mazes and secret passageways to discover. The kids were a little apprehensive at first but once they realized nothing was for real, they wanted to do everything again and again!
We bought wristbands for the kiddy rides and spend a good hour riding the ferris wheel, bumper water boats, train and the best of ALL... the Frog Hopper!
This Cinderella theatre show was hilarious!
Macy even got her own Birthday Button!
After dinner at Red Robin, we came home to have Birthday Cake with friends! Macy requested Texas sheet cake with sprinkles! Easy enough (since I am horrible at decorating cakes).
All in all, this may go down as the "BEST BIRTHDAY EVER." It'll be hard to top! But, we'll keep spoiling this girl because we LOVE her so much!
