The weather was beautiful for his party at the park, and I learned a very important lesson: It is far less stressful to have a birthday party at a location other than your own home. It took about 15 minutes to set up, and about 15 minutes to clean up. The kids had a great time running around the playground, writing on the sidewalk with chalk, and eating cake. Way better than spending 2 days getting ready for the party and 2 days cleaning up afterwards, and much better than fighting over toys in our living room, that's for sure!
Here are a few fun pictures from the party:
Peyton and his pal Camden
The shelter with all of the food
Peyton and his girlfriend Amelia
My friend Laura made the cutest cake ever for the truck-themed party. As you can see, Peyton thoroughly enjoyed it!
We had a blast at the zoo on Peyton's birthday. Again, the weather was gorgeous and it was a perfect day to be out at the zoo. Peyton loved seeing all of the animals and making animal noises. I'll let him tell you all about what he saw (my apologies for letting him talk while he was eating. Its the only time he's sitting still long enough for us to have a conversation with him and catch it on camera). You'll hear that the highlight of the day was not actually seeing the animals, though.
Some pictures of our day:
Peyton and his monkey friend
Playing in an ostrich egg. Those things are huge!

Peyton and Daddy hanging out by the giraffes
I'd say it was a fun and successful trip to the zoo. This was Peyton before we made it out of the parking lot to drive home:

What a beautiful day it was. Great pictures and I love his on camera memories. It is definitely easier having birthday parties away from the house. Good move!
Love,
