McKenna's Birthday Fun Day

Since moving to North Carolina, Courtney and I decided to get back to what we used to do and have the kids enjoy a birthday fun day, instead of dealing with the stresses of planning out a birthday party. 

So, when we asked McKenna what she wanted to do for her birthday fun day, she right away said "the zoo where you feed the giraffes!" And for the next week that's all she could talk about. It is the same place we went for McKaila's birthday fun, but it's always fun seeing animals and getting the chance to feed them out of your hand.

But we also had a birthday surprise for her, Grandpa and Grandma Nancy, were coming for a visit! 

The kids were very excited to see them and couldn't get enough of them while they were here.

Our favorite spot, the giraffes. The kids loved feeding them and the older giraffe found a liking to Courtney and played with him by licking him and darting his head back and forth towards him. It was a fun site to see, for sure!

McKenna loved the baby goats

After spending the whole morning at the zoo, we had a picnic at the state park a few miles from the zoo. The kids loved that because they could eat, but also run around and have some fun. 

After enjoying our picnic, we walked around the water for a bit, then headed back into the car so we could end McKenna's birthday fun day with some ice cream. 

It was an excellent birthday fun day!!
