Happy Birthday Jenna

Jenna's Birthday was June 17th. Wow has time gone by so fast. She is growing up so quickly. She has been walking since May and and is pretty much running now. Just the other day she was walking under the table and she has grown so much that now she bumps her head on the table. She bumped it and was crying so hard that when she was trying to get out from underneath the table she just kept bumping her head. LOL. She was so upset.

For her birthday we went to the botanical gardens and the aquarium. It was pretty hot that day but she loved every minute of it. The botanical gardens has a screened in area where they have a ton of butterflies. We went there and watched them fly around for a while. The boys love going there also to see the butterflies. We then walked to an area in the gardens that they just opened up. It is a Japanese garden. Wow. That area is pretty cool. There is a waterfall with a pond and goldfish and ducks and stuff. There is a small trail that winds around the edge of the pond. There are little streams with neat rock bridges and stuff. The sprinklers were on when we got there and the boys were bending over and getting their heads just soaked to try and cool themselves off.

We couldn't take the heat anymore so we went inside into the aquarium. That felt so good. Jenna was totally amazed by the big tanks that they have that cover the whole wall. When she first seen it she just stood there a second then she decided to try and touch the fish. She could't tell where the glass was because it was pretty dark. So she would take a few steps and reach for the glass but she wouldn't find it. So she would take a few more steps and reach for it. It was so funny. She just loved seeing all of the fish and stingrays and stuff swimming by.

We left there and came home and had birthday cake. Tracy gets all of our cakes from this little cake shop where they have the best cakes in the land of enchantment. They gave us a little smash cake for Jenna since it was her first birthday. She couldn't wait to dive into that cake!

Jenna had so much fun!!! I think that we all did.
