Dr Dolittle Days and Derek's birthday

Saturday was a busy fun filled day for the Hyde family! We have family in town visiting so we all got together and went to the zoo for Dr. Dolittle Days! My kids love to go and play the games and do the crafts and see the animals so I figured it was a great place to go hang out with the cousins!

Derek went along with us even though he is too old to enjoy the games and stuff! He is 15 now and at 15 games and crafts are just not cool! We took his girlfriend with us so they had fun looking at the animals together!

The kids have a great aunt who is a docent at the zoo so of course we made sure to stop by her table and play the game she was in charge of! The prize from her game was sunglasses! They all thought they were pretty awesome wearing their new glasses!

After all the games and animals we went back to great grandma's house and had cake and ice cream! Derek was very thankful we didn't sing Happy Birthday to him! He got some great presents for his birthday! He now has his very own tent for camping plus a new air mattress, sleeping bags, new Toy Story legos, movies, and he got to pick out a couple of new Xbox games. Not a bad birthday if you ask me!

Next on our agenda is family vacation time! We will be heading to Oregon next month to visit the Hyde's there and we are all super excited to go! The kids can't wait to see all the farm animals and I can't wait to get away for a few days and relax!
