This past Sunday we celebrated birthdays for 2 buddies, adorable little Griff who turned 3, and Julie who turned 6!
The first celebration was in the morning at Wilder Ranch.
The party was safari-themed and absolutely adorable. The bday boy was a Jaguar and all the guests got to make safari binoculars out of old TP rolls (we were soo rushed getting out of the house, though, that we forgot our’s! Luckily, Valentine had extras)!
The kids then went on safari to hunt for animals (sweet little animal finger puppets) with their binocs! It was all very sweet.
We’re lucky to have such creative and thoughtful friends–instead of cake, they served yummy banana bread cupcakes with a veganized frosting. It was so delicious, I had 2.
After Griff’s party, we had swimming and directly after that, we hurriedly ate before heading to Julie’s bday.
The kids were pretty tuckered out from having slept less than usual in the tent the night before, running around at Griff’s party, AND swim lessons, but they both rallied for Julie’s party and had a great time…!
Julie’s little bro Kaden is Cameron’s buddy and she is just a bit younger than Dylan.
Dylan was pretty shy and mostly just jumped with Tom, but after Cameron woke up, they had a blast bouncing around together!
It was a very busy day and I wasn’t sure we’d get through it. I actually missed a lunch with some old AOL buddies. I felt horrible about this (it was basically a logistical issue with Tom and I both having forgotten we needed to take 2 cars to Griff’s bday…)! Tom was willing to take the kids to swimming all by himself, but I’m glad he didn’t have to do that. As it was, with both of us, we were just barely able to manage getting from one location/activity to the next just in time….
