Birthday Party take 2!

We are stretching this birthday stuff out as long as we possibly can!  We had another party to celebrate Drew and Anna Kate's 2nd birthday today at Aunt Donna's house.  Most of the Garners were there and we had lots of fun! Drew and Anna Kate had their first pizza and surprisingly, they didn't seem too crazy about it.  They ate a few bites but left most of it on their plate.  They may not be related to their daddy after all because he could live on pizza.  They did really like all the fruit and of course there was cake and ice cream which is always a big hit. After lunch there were some presents and then it was time to "wim, wim".  They actually spotted the pool from the window when we came in and were super excited when we said it was finally time to go swimming. They both started undressing themselves when I said we needed to put their bathing suits on.  When we got outside we found a new super fun toy from Pepaw and Ann. A sand and water table!! And not just any sand and water table, the deluxe version! They were a little preoccupied with the pool but they are going to LOVE it when we get it all set up with the water and sand. It has all kinds of fun toys and tools that came with it and it even has an umbrella.  They got right in the pool and swam all over like they had been doing it for years. They jumped in multiple times from the diving board and the side and had a wonderful time. They were having so much fun the swam right past their nap time (by two hours!). Before we left Drew got to take a ride on Uncle Doug's Polaris which is like Grandaddy's "go-go" on steroids.  They weren't real sure what to make of it and I think they were a little scared of it but Drew really liked it and said "fast!" when they got back.  They were completely exhausted by the time we got home and laid them down for a nap but they had an awesome time! It sure is fun to get to celebrate your birthday for a whole week!

 Always keep the monster truck nearby.

 Checking out Brady (the dog) with Aunt Donna and Aunt Belva

I think this picture is hysterical! I said he looks like a miniature Florida retiree! He remembered rides on Aunt Donna's scooter from the last time we were there and wanted to take it for another spin.

 Anna Kate had to get out for a juice break. She said she was cold. She said that the last time we went swimming too. My girl must be cold natured. She did swim for quite some time and had lots of fun!

My little water dog was having lots of fun and didn't want to get out.

Thanks Aunt Donna for hosting a party for us. We had so much fun!!
