I celebrated the big 2-9... getting dangerously close to 30! Which is fine - I really don't mind if I'm almost in my 30's, though it does sound kind of strange. It was a nice birthday... low key and a blessing to spend time with my hubby and sweet little boys.
We (really I mean 'I' since it was my birthday :)) decided to have a nice little family outing Saturday morning and went to the zoo and then for a walk and picnic along the canal downtown. Walking along the canal is one of those things that while doing it we ask ourselves, "why don't we do this more often?" It's so pretty and we love being downtown. It also makes us dream about living in a flat downtown in some city, walking to everything and enjoying the city life. We're thinking maybe this will be our empty nest living situation since we didn't take advantage of the opportunity before kids :) ... or maybe we'll just do it with kids!
Our morning at the zoo was nearly perfect... the animals were out and about, the temperature was mild, and we got there early to beat the rush. The only downfall was that my allergies decided to attack me for the first time this season that morning. Sneezing. Sneezing. Sneezing. Kleenex. Kleenex. Kleenex. Good times.
There is a little pathway that goes right from the zoo and across the canal to the white river park downtown... perfect place to stroll and have a picnic.

Happy belated! I always think it's a healthy sign when people don't fear being 30. :)
Looking forward to finally seeing you guys at the Pfledderer weekend!
happy belated birthday! :) Luke was really smart and planned a surprise party for my 29th instead of 30th...but really, it's nothing to hide from. When you turn 30, your one day older than you were the day before. :) You got this ;)
You're...not your one day older. I fastidiously like to use the right one when possible. :)
