Happy Birthday Asher!

On the actual day of Asher's birthday, we headed out to Antioch Park for the annual Turkey Creek Festival. The whole park was blocked off and filled with all sorts of fun things for every age!

Here a handful: Train Ride, Petting Zoo, Pony Rides, Jumping Castles, Pedal Boats, Vendors, Face Painting, and Charicature Drawings.

The kids stopped by to visit a very friendly clown who made them some balloon shapes and animals. I think we made it home with two after the others had popped completely (or lost a limb somehow).

One of Asher's presents was a striped t-shirt from his uncle Martin. This is the same shirt he got Josiah for his birthday and the same shirt he bought Andrew- so we had to make them wear the shirt on the same day! Ahhh, don't you love matching children?!?


I think the kids enjoyed the food, too. Ellie and Andrew found the cotton candy and we found the funnel cakes (I really should say I searched for the funnel cakes and shared them with my family...) Messy, but delicious!!


One of my favorite moments of the afternoon was when the boys had a charicature drawing made of them. It was just so darn cute!





We had a great afternoon, but man- were we wiped out! I guess that's how a birthday is supposed to be right?
