Samuel's Third Birthday - October 4, 2009


For Samuel's birthday my parents took us to the zoo. We had a lot of fun and Samuel actually walked the entire time!!! Talk about a surprise, I was ready to hear; someone to carry me! :) It was a beautiful day and not busy at all. He loved seeing all the animals and spending the day outside!
His big gift this year was a Spiderman bike, which he loves to ride, but didn't get to ride very much because it was getting too cold. It took him a while to not be "lazy" about peddling, but now he just goes and goes. I will be excited to see how much better he will be when we get it out again this Spring. We decided to have a joint birthday party with his cousin, Breyanna, who's birthday is September 30th (except she was turning 5). We had it at Rockwell Park and it turned out really well. I think almost everyone we invited made it and the kids had so much fun. And of course Samuel was showered with tons of gifts.

Halloween


So, the night before Halloween we took Samuel to TIger World for "Boo at the Zoo" which is a non-profit animal rescue facility right down the road form us (less than 5 minutes). They had it all decorated for Halloween and the kids got to walk around and get candy as they saw all of the animals. It was absolutely crazy how close you could be to these animals! While we were there two of the lions started to fight. It was amazing how loud the sound of their growls were. Then on Halloween we just went to downtown Faith and let Samuel Trick-or-Treat. He had a great time and got lots of candy!!
