On her birthday

Happy Birthday Emma Lynn!

We brainstormed after walking out of Les Mis that we needed a make up activity to do on her birthday...mmmm...

Since the girl is obsessed with owls we decided a trip to Birds of Prey would be perfect. Austin had picked that for a mommy date a few years back and we had a good time. The other kids have been dying to go since his rave about it. Perfect opportunity.

We invited Emma's BFF Hailey {and family} to come with. We had a ward breakfast and church clean up that morning and then we were off to Boise.

It was definitely a success!

Doesn't he make a cute bird? Bird is the word!

They do a show were they bring out a bird for you to see. When Austin and I went they brought out a crow and falcon. This time it was an OWL! Wow, that was meant to be. She gasped and immediately whipped out her journal from her purse and started to sketch Winston the very cute screech owl. I love her reaction. Priceless.

Waiting for the show to start.

We parted from Hailey and company at that point. We decided to hit up Chuck a Rama for lunch {with growing children its starting to become a good place.}

Glad we found something FUN to do. Emma and I finished the night by going to a stake dance together. She was cute and danced with some girls in our ward and me a few times. Its funny to me but she did have fun.

Happy Birthday!
