Celebrating Seven

Yesterday was the big SEVEN for Kennedy. She started out her morning with a surprise birthday banner in the bathroom.


After a delicious breakfast of strawberry waffles and "whoop" cream, we were off to the Woodland Park Zoo. We were especially excited about the beautiful spring weather that God had in store for us.


In the Rose Garden Gazebo


The children LOVE playing in the African Savannah.
The huts and little village seem so realistic.




We were in for a treat, as the giraffes were playing close to the observation deck today. The baby and her parents were twisting their necks together as if they were hugging.



Kennedy sketched a giraffe and zebra scene on a canvas that she hopes to paint soon.


Next, we picked up Dad from work and headed to the Seattle Center.We have never done the zoo and children's museum in one day before, but since we have memberships to both, it seemed like a great birthday-like thing to do.


Kennedy's restaurant of choice for dinner was the Spaghetti Factory.



We walked to the Sculpture Park after dinner and enjoyed the art, bubbles, beach, and time together.







Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

What an absolutely delightful celebration of Kennedy's birthday!!! Your family must really, really love you, Kennedy! The Lord has greatly enriched our lives with YOU! Papa and I love watching all your excitement and energy at the zoo, the museum, and the park. (We laughed at your baby brother darting around after the bubbles!) We are looking forward to having you stay with us this weekend ... bring your paints!
Love,
Grammy

Kennedina Ballerina,
I'm so glad you're 7, because you know what that rhymes with! Somewhere we can't wait to go!
God is sure growing you up beautifully on the inside and out...you're a work in progress, just like one of your unfinished paintings! Can't wait to see you tomorrow! I love you!
