Happy Birthday,Ariel!

Celebrating birthdays at this point in time is tough.We all just want life to go back to normal and be done with all of this craziness.I had told Ariel we would have a fun day even if everything was closed down.Thankfully our state did open the state parks.Her birthday morning I picked up a box of goodies from Panera bread for her.She especially likes these cinnamon crunch bagels with honey walnut cream cheese.I also got a big bouquet of balloons.

I got everything all decorated so she would see it when she woke up.I let her know that we were going to spend the day at the park.Things have been so tough since her nerve blocks aren't considered essential.Ridiculous the things our governor considers essential and the things that aren't.Anyway I was determined to make it a wonderful birthday for her.So we headed out with a Frisbee,ball and some kites.The guys enjoyed playing Frisbee.

Ariel enjoyed watching them play.We tried to walk some trails that we really like walking,but unfortunately that section of the park was closed off.So we decided to go to the beach instead.

             The guys enjoyed skipping rocks.

               Ariel loves looking for crabs.

                    Doing silly poses.

After we had spent quite a lot of time at this park we decided to head to another park to see if our kites would fly better.First we stopped at Dairy Queen to get ice cream for everyone.

The next park we went to is a bit more rocky,but we thought it would be great for flying kites,unfortunately it wasn't.There was just not enough wind.We got them up a few times,but they would come crashing down.So Ariel went on her hunt for more crabs.

This crab scared me half to death.Ariel had been getting these really little ones and then she opened her hand and showed me this guy.Eeks!

After the parks we went and picked up her cake and some KFC.She was pretty much done by this time and wanted to do her cake and gifts the next day.The very next day she was pretty seizurey,so we spent most of the day watching any movies she wanted to watch.It was pretty rainy all day.Later that evening we did cake and gifts after having the dinner of Chinese food that Ariel picked.

 

We still haven't done her pinata yet or the yard games we bought,but we'll do it all eventually.Regardless she had a wonderful day.
