Zoo Girls Getaway
Today was a day I want to remember! These past few weeks have been so busy with work and school planning but we had put a zoo trip on the calendar. And even though storms were in the forecast, I decided to go ahead and take a chance even if our friends decided not to come with us. It was such a fun time that reminded me of the many adventures I had with these girls the past 7 years in Dallas when they were toddlers and preschoolers but it was also fun to enjoy the zoo at a new bigger kid level, actually stopping to read signs and talking with the zookeepers. There are things we miss about the Dallas zoo but the Tulsa zoo is great too. We were worn out after spending about five hours there. Such a fun day marveling about God's creatures with these fun little ladies!
Pretending to be Laura and Mary!
So glad they still love the carousel!
Vivien Leigh turns FIVE!
It happened! Even though we told her that we liked her just the way she was a four year old, she went and turned FIVE! She told us, "God made me to grow!"
Her Sunday birthday started out with the traditional birthday pancake. This is likely the last year birthday pancakes are served to a footie-pj clad girl! 😩
After church, we had pizza for lunch (her request) and then she got all dressed up in her new Elsa dress from GG and KK.
This was Viv's year to have a party and she has been planning it since her 3-year-old party. The fact that we had moved away from all of her friends one month before didn't seem to diminish her hopes. When we asked her what Oklahoma friends she would want to invite, she quickly named all the kids in our church home group. I invited the three families with kids ages 2 months-13 years and they all showed up for her Frozen party.
We are lasagna and then played several Minute to Win It Frozen games that Dennis and I found or invented.
