Birthday Fun

Cadence is 2! Her birthday is July 12th, which happened to be on a Saturday this year, so we planned a day of fun in her honor. Here a some of the pictures from throughout that day:

We started with a pancake breakfast, she's checking out the happy face I put on hers.

After we all got ready for the day we headed to Storyland in Fresno, a fun spot I remember going to as a kid where you get to explore some classic nursery rhymes and stories. Here's the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland.


I was going to get a cute shot of Cadence crawling into the maze...instead I got

The old woman's shoe:




A cool part of Storyland is getting to hear the stories. You can purchase a plastic key that when inserted into these boxes at various stations, will begin the story being read. The park has been upgraded since I was small and each story can now be heard in either English or Spanish...your choice.

Stained glass in Noah's Ark:


Captain Cadence, "Yo-ho!"


Three Bear's chairs:


A castle complete with moat monster!



Fun on the merry-go-round:



Slides are good for kids of all ages!



Lunch at the wonderfully retro Chicken Pie Shop. A vintage spot in Fresno's Tower District with old fashioned lunch counters and great food.

That night we had some family over for a yummy lasagna dinner, presents and cake and (home-made) ice cream!











Happy Birthday Cadence!
