I had to put in a few pictures from memory lane. This is Maude's first birthday at the park with family.
Maude is all ready to eat her birthday cake.
The big OOPS is I got up early Friday morning and made Neiman Marcus Bars to take as refreshment for our Fabulous Friday Night enrichment. To make a long story short I went to enrichment and the bars stayed in my refrigerator. Don't ask me what I was thinking!!!
Gavin, Gabriel and Isa are on fall break this week so today was GRANDMA DAY!!! We went to the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert just over on the SE corner of Greenfield & Guadalupe. It is a 110 acre preserve for all kinds of birds and beautiful dragon fly. We did a little hiking and got to enjoy the wildlife. They even have a program where you can dig for dinosaurs. It also has a lake where you can take the kiddos and fish. We'll have to get grandpa involved with that one! Then off to check out the Gilbert library .....
