Donkey Birthday Party

So the kids and I joined the Sherwood MOMS group and they have all different types of activities each week. We went to a spring party at the park last Friday and then today we went to Tollen Farms (a working farm with horses, sheep, miniature donkeys, plants, and a gift shop. they are open in the spring and summer to the public) to a Donkey Birthday Party. Yes, it was a birthday party for donkeys! Complete with birthday cake and we even sang happy birthday dear donkeys :) Sounds crazy, but the farm puts it on and several of the moms and kids from the group met there this morning.

It was lots of fun. We got to see horses and miniature donkeys and a precious baby miniature donkey. The mom was named chockolate delight and the baby was chocolate surprise because she was a surprise baby. The donkey's were really friendly and the kids got to pet them and even lead one around with a rope. McKenna wasn't too sure about petting them because she had to get so close and they kept making a sneezing type noise, so this afternoon she kept talking about the donkeys sneezing. Her Hee-Haw noise is too cute! She really liked leading him around on the rope, but I think her favorite part was the birthday cake - carrot cake of course! Right after we saw the donkeys she started asking birthday cake, birthday cake? I think Carter enjoyed it too, ha ha. He pretty much nursed the whole time and then had a nice poopy diaper that leaked out everywhere! It always seems to happen at the most opportune time :) I think it wore McKenna out because she slept 3 hours this afternoon!

Here are some pictures.

Birthday cake, "nummy" as McKenna would say.

Leading the donkey. She thought this was great because she didn't have to get too close!

Trying to get the girls to get together for a picture. Pretty near impossible!



Trying to get everyone to look at once!
