Cluck, Oink, Moo

A few weeks ago we celebrated my birthday. We always go to my mom's for dinner and enjoy the same delicious meal and dessert per my request, so of course we had that planned. We also had an open house to attend. But J said that we could do anything I wanted in the morning. What did I want to do? Spend some time with my two favorite guys outdoors at the Nature Center. I love my husband, I love my Deeg and I love the outdoors...

What are they looking at?

The sheep were excited to see us because we brought carrots. If you have carrots, they'll like you too.

Deeg was having a good ol' time. We enjoyed watching these guys roll around in the mud...

Deeg didn't think the chickens were too interesting. He does like to eat chicken though... especially when it's mixed with apples.

And Deeg couldn't stay in the backpack for too long, so we let him loose in the shade. He tried to eat several sticks. He also wants to run with sticks. I feel that a 11 month old walking with stick is equally as dangerous as a five year old running with scissors.

What a great way to start my birthday celebration. How did I end the celebration? With the ice cream cake my mom has been making for years. A thick Oreo crust, ice cream, heath, chocolate fudge... perfection.
