Wild Africa Trek for My 30th Birthday

On March 7th, I turned the big 3-0. To celebrate this milestone, Chris surprised me with an extra special trip to Wild Africa ... in Disney World! It was this amazing 3-hour trek around the Animal Kingdom grounds where we got to see the animals from a different viewpoint than you normally get on the safari ride. We also got an awesome authentic African lunch with more amazing views of the animals.

The photos below are a mix of pictures I took and pictures our guide took and gave to us after the trek.

This was our African-style lunch, served out of the cutest tins I've ever seen. It all stacked and locked together.
That hut in the distance is where we ate our lunch.

I really couldn't have asked for a better birthday! Chris is so sweet and amazing! I enjoyed every minute of it and love the amazing pictures we'll always have to remember it by.

Emma's 2nd Birthday

Last weekend we headed out to the Albany area to celebrate the 2nd birthday of out niece, Emma. As always, Emma was completely adorable and so was her brother and cousins.
And as always, the kids had a blast with Uncle Chris.
The big entertainment for the party was a kid's bounce house, which they inflated in the family room. Even Spider-Man loved it.
But then again, who doesn't love a bounce house?
Uncle Chris couldn't resist getting in there and bouncing the kids around a bit. I think they like it just a little ...
Yeah. Just a smidge.
The cake was so adorable sporting the Minnie Mouse theme.
Although I don't think Emma cared what it looked like so much as what it tasted like.
She also had a fun time trying on daddy's sunglasses.
Evan was having a good time checking himself out in the reflective surface of the Mylar balloon.
The day wrapped up with present time. Emma wanted to open up the packaging on every present she received, so of course, Uncle Chris obliged (much to Erin's dismay). haha
And now Emma has sunglasses of her own! Hooray!
Well, sort of.
Anyone else celebrating birthdays? My niece Hadley is turning 4 and I really wish I could be there to celebrate with her. I hope she has a great birthday and enjoys her own bounce house party!
