Kent is 30!  |  Family Staycation #1

Happy Birthday!

There he is...the Birthday Boy...enjoying his favorite dessert (Culver's) in the form of cake!

Turtle Custard Cake...Yummily

 My man HATES surprises...as I learned the hard way on our second year of marriage....so I begged

him to tell me what he would like to do for his 30th! He decided to go out for supper with these

four fun couples!  We laughed and made many more memories at Biaggi's.

  Little miss Puddles was supposed to be sleeping but instead got in on opening presents...

 So glad he has had 30 healthy years and hope many more to come! Happy Birthday Dear.

 

 Staycation

At our current stage of raising children, we have decided to stay close to home for our 2014 vacations.

So...on Friday May 30th Daddy took the day off work and we spent the day at the Peoria Zoo.

 

 Mr. Zoo Keeper was showing us how big the tiger's scull is...it fit perfectly around Reilly's head!

 There are my 3 favorites!

 gotta have at least one picture of the animals...

                 rock climbing                                                    watching the monkeys

 For some reason our chillin's thought the concrete animals were more fun than the real ones... go figure!?

 Kent was behind the camera for this photo...not quite like the San Diego Zoo plant life but still pretty.

 

 It was a beautiful...hot...family day...at the Zoo!

 

The rest of the weekend consisted of Daddy serving us up some delicious food!

Trying out the new griddle...yep...it was yummy!

 Omelets and pancakes...not just your ordinary pancakes...

after taking my first bite he informed me that he used ice cream as part of the milk.

 What a grand and scrumptious idea!

 Like Father Like Son...always in the kitchen when anything is in the making...
especially when sprinkles are allowed.

 Warm weather is here and our freezer is fully stocked with...

ICE CREAM!

Kent is the master of the scoop. One of his many specialties is making the perfect cone.

Mmmm...that's good!

 I believe Daddy just made a weird face or slurping sound...

that's why Reilly's giggling and Sarina is most likely going to try to recreate the sound!

That sums up our first vacation weekend!
