Anna's birthday party was on Saturday. We had a crawfish boil, along with a more palatable fare for the kiddos (chicken tenders and mac n cheese). Anna spent most of the afternoon/evening running wild with all of the other kids. Her feet stayed dirty even after her bath, despite the vigorous scrubbing I gave them. Hannah was there, and she and Anna had so much fun!!
Jenny and Lena came to the party and gave Anna some new art supplies (aka floor decorators)
The party was dominated by teachers- just about every adult there either is, or was a teacher. Wow!
On Sunday morning, Anna wanted to get dressed right away and play outside with her toys.
She's figured out how to make her car go forward now!
Next we went to the Parker Coliseum to see Ag Magic- basically a farm/petting zoo for the little kids. Anna LOVED seeing the animals up close! For some reason, a puzzle piece of a cow just doesn't cut it...
Here is Anna mooing at the cow. He just MIGHT have been intimidated.
...OR NOT...
We were trying to get Anna to pet the goat and lamb, but she was more interested in the guy handling them.
The highlight of the farm animals was the table of one day old chicks. Anna spent a lot of time holding and loving on the chicks.
She ended up getting a little upset when we told her that she couldn't kiss and hug the chick. So I guess if we want Anna to ever kiss or hug us, we'll just have to dress up like animals.
Anna is still working on the sound that a pig makes.
Once we had finished with the farm animals, we had the awesome idea to walk across campus to see Mike the Tiger. By the time we got there, Anna had her head on my shoulder (even more brilliant- we didn't bring a stroller). While Shaun went back to the Parker Coliseum to get the car, Anna and I escaped into the gift shop for a little A/C!
There was a little boy there who found the foam fan claws. He chased Anna around the store, yelling, "Rharrr!" So Anna found another foam claw and chased after him...
