the Birthday week (Week 10) ...and the lost week 9

Abigail had an amazing birthday week.  She enjoyed camp with her friends, lots of special birthday celebrations with friends and family.  

John has been looking forward all summer to a visit to the Fort Worth Aviation museum.  He was able to go with Jordan.  Best part -- it has a petting zoo -- several historical planes for you to touch and climb inside and explore.  

We headed out to Fossil Rim -- it was a blast.  We were able to feed the deer, reindeer, and giraffes.  It was the first time John wanted to feed the animals from his hand.  Both kids giggled, especially with the reindeer that decided to lick my arm repeatedly.  John also modeled a blue tongue, just like the giraffe.

John and I went to the Zoo splash pad before heading to the airport to pick up Bebe.  She surprised Abigail, welcoming her home from camp on her birthday.  

Face timing with Joby and Uncle Sean and showing off some of her favorite presents.

Heading to the birthday party.  Abigail loves plants and nature, so the succulent decorating terrarium party was perfect for her.

John and all her friends had a great time creating their own terrariums.  I was really impressed with all the amazing creations.

Abigail also chose a special fondu dinner....she did not like the cheese fondu, but she and John were really thrilled by the chocolate fondu.
