Teenager #2!

Today is Bethany's 13th birthday!  We are now half and half at our house and I have to admit, teenagers are a BLAST!  We let Bethany pick our activities and food for the day.  It was so much fun.

We started with breakfast, mostly made by Caleb and Don.  Here they are chopping the ingredients for omelets.

The finished product - ham, cheese, green pepper, onion and mushroom omelets. We also had grapefruit, cinnamon rolls and raspberry smoothies! Very yummy!

Then off to the zoo.  We have gone to the zoo for MANY of Bethany's birthdays. It is one of her favorite places.  Today we went to an IMAX 3D movie called Flight of the Butterflies.  It was very good!

And as long as we are here . . . let's see another one!  We are waiting in line to see IMAX 3D movie number 2 which was something about "prehistoric sea animals".  It was filled with fiction and generated LOTS of discussion afterwards, but was somewhat impressive.  

 

On to the aquarium . . . a stop to see the penguins.

Home for candles, singing and CAKE!  

Then Bethany wanted to play nerf guns in the basement!  

Now we getting ready to watch a movie to end our day!  We had planned on hamburgers for lunch but we were all still full from our huge breakfast!  We will have our "snack supper" of popcorn, cheese, summer sausage, crackers etc. with our movie. So much fun to celebrate another year in the life of one of our children.  Bethany is such a blessing to our family and is growing into such a lovely young lady.
