Spencer's Birthday Party!

Spencer's birthday party, celebrating her 2nd year, was last Saturday. It was a beautiful day, in the mid 80's (which is very cool for Virginia in July) and it was a great party.

I had a local farm bring their mini animals and some others, for a petting zoo party. They brought pigs, goats, a lamb, bunnies, chickens, a mini horse, a pony, an alpaca, and a donkey! There were 10 kids and about 30 adults, so we had a full house, um yard.

The backyard before the party started.

Some of the animals "grazing." I really want a farm now. Well, except for the poop!

Moriah the Pig. She liked to have her belly rubbed, and when you were doing it just right, she'd snort, roll over, and pass out. It was so cute! The other picture is of Spencer playing dress up with the mini horse, who was so gentle and sweet.



That's the Alpaca, and she liked to hum. If you hummed, she'd join right in and try to match your tune.



Chickens, roosters, bunnies and pigs.

A chicken, isn't he/she cool looking? And that's Spencer trying to give one of the bunnies a kiss.

Patting the donkey with one hand, a chip in the other!

She kept walking back to the chip table, she couldn't resist them.

She was very nervous on the pony. Thankfully, she didn't cry, but she didn't smile either.

Can you see her red cowgirl boots?

SO serious! She still won't smile for the camera, or look at it for that matter.

Her cake. Now that looks like a pig!

Blowing out her candle. I don't know why the cake isn't facing her. Ooops.

Enjoying her sugar - the rush did not end until MUCH later that night! It was a really wonderful day, stressful and exhausting, but well worth it.


Us. (How do like that Big Gulp!? ha!)
